Simpli Starch® Instant Concentrate Powder For Laundry, Ironing, Refill For Liquid Starch & Non-Aerosol Spray Starch. Use in Your Washer, Wrinkle Release. Ideal For Arts & Crafts Projects - 8oz (1)

Works well

I used this for ironing pants and shirts. It does provide a nice starch solution to spray on the clothes before ironing them and does give a nice stiff form. Just remember to not put the iron on high. I actually put my iron on a fairly low setting. I had it on a higher setting early on and it did leave a starchy particle where I was ironing. The solution works well and as good a starch bought that is premixed in a spray can.

worked very well and good for the price

Hey there! I hope this review helps you out. I tried both the spray and wash method, and here’s what I found. I mixed one teaspoon of starch with 12 ounces of water, and adjusted the nozzle of my spray bottle to shoot a more concentrated jet than a mist. I laid the jeans flat on their side to make the crease I wanted, and soaked that edge as much as I could. I let it settle to avoid flaking, ironed it, and then sprayed and ironed it again. I let them hang to dry overnight, and here’s how they turned out. The crease was pretty sharp, but the starch wasn’t evenly distributed and soaked into the jeans. The next day, I washed 7 pairs of jeans in 3/4 cups of starch. I put the load on the quick wash cycle, which is about 20 minutes in my machine. Once it was done, I ironed them damp, and let them hang to dry. The jeans had soaked up all the starch, which is what I wanted. But I left them out for an entire day and night, and they were still damp in some places like the crotch or waist. I would recommend leaving them outside if the weather permits, or with a fan blowing at them if you want a faster dry. I probably should have even flipped them. As you can see from the second and third photos (same pair of jeans), they’re much crispier, and the creases will probably last longer. If you want a lighter starch, I would recommend using the spray technique, which is what I’ll do for my denim shirts. If you’re like me and you like a heavy starch on your jeans, I would wash them in the starch and let them hang to dry. If I was really a man, I would also spray and re-iron them once they have dried. It’s worth noting that your washing machine will be left with some starch residue, especially since I have a front-loading machine. The spraying method is also quite sticky and messy, so be careful not to burn yourself while ironing. Overall, one bag will probably last me at least a week’s worth of shirts and jeans, and it comes in at the same price as a dry cleaner would charge for starching a single pair of jeans. Don’t expect your jeans to stand up straight on their own, or have that nice white crease after the first time, but I have no dry cleaners near me with proper starching products and equipment. This beats all the other homemade products, and if you’re willing to spend some time on a Sunday, it’s well worth buying.

Easy to reconstitute. Works great, like it very much, and the likelihood of running out has been eliminated. I will keep this product on available to me. A definite saver.
