Mend It Girl Starch

I have made an easy-to-make starch that saves money!  I don't like to use store bought starch because it has formaldehyde in it, and I don't want to be using a dangerous product on my customers' clothing.  Also the can gets clogged with dried-up starch and is expensive in comparison to my homemade recipe.

I have a helper this time:

Side-Kick

Ingredients:

1 Tbs. cornstarch

4 cups of distilled water

2-3 drops of essential oil and/or lemon juice


Directions:

Bring 3 3/4 cups of the distilled water to a boil.

While waiting for the water to boil, mix up the corn starch and 1/4 cup water until cornstarch is dissolved.

Once the water has boiled, slowly pour in cornstarch mixture.

 

Now stir for about 3 minutes and then turn heat off and wait for it to cool.


Then add the essential oils. I used vanilla, orange, lavender, and lemon juice.

Pour in a labeled squirt bottle...

Look how great this homemade starch works!  Fresh smelling, crisp clean clothing!

 Seem to much for you?  Never fear, Mend It Girl is here!  Send me your wrinkled mess and I will make them fresh and crisp!
