Laundry Starch
A cornstarch-based spray starch for crisp collars and cuffs — mixed fresh each time since it doesn't keep well once diluted.
What you'll need
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup cold water
- A clean spray bottle
Steps
- Dissolve the cornstarch fully in the cold water — no lumps should remain.
- Pour into the spray bottle and shake well.
- Mist lightly onto the fabric before ironing, focusing on collars and cuffs.
- Iron immediately while damp for the crispest finish.
Tip: Shake the bottle between every few sprays — the cornstarch settles quickly and can clog the nozzle if left unmixed.
