4. It's for ironing?
Do you spray it on the iron or the ironing board?

7. No! You spray it in your mouth if you happen to have PICA!
An abnormal craving or appetite for nonfood substances, such as dirt, paint, or clay or starch!!!!

8. One week -- I use starch practically every day
Part of my economizing has been to quit sending boyfriend's shirts out to the laundry, so I am now the little housewife, starching shirts ... BTW, you spray it on the shirt, not the iron (ouch!).

11. Hey, let me tell you a thing or two, LSparkle.
Teach that guy how to iron his own shirts. Men make great ironers. Just ask my husband. His mother taught him well. :bounce:

No charge for this advice from an old woman! ;-)

12. thanks but he's already scorched a couple of ties
and I'm afraid he's going to burn the place down if I let him near the ironing board again! I'm praying he gets work soon so we can go back to the laundry!

15. careful...
the top will rust and when you spray your nice white shirt... *poof* it becomes a nice "orange" spotted shirt. I know from first hand experience with a "young" 3 year old can. :grr:

taught.

16. Spray starch!?!? Hell, I can't even find my iron!
Seriously...I have an ironing board that's gathering dust in the basement.
