lillybettybabs Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Does anyone know if you can still get laundry starch for your washing machine? I feel my bed sheets and OH shirts need crisping up but i haven't bought any for ages -last time was Sainburys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Lakeland Ltd sell laundry starch. Not used it myself but have used a spray starch on OH's shirts which I bought from Lidl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysmum Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I occasionaly use a spray starch when I'm feeling virtuous but I like the sound of a starch you put in the washing machine. Appeals to my laziness. Please post if you find something. Alli x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I've used the Lakeland one before on an old linen damask tablecloth. Having said that, are your sheets 100% cotton or poly-cotton? I only have 100% cotton sheets (suffer dreadfully from static) and they are always crisp.

craftyhunnypie Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Spray starch is good stuff on shirts & bedding. I like the smell of it. Didn't know you could get stuff to put in your machine. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loumabel Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I use the Dylon one in my washing machine for my sheets and it works really well. I buy it from ocado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Think Asda does a version of starch for the washing machine; I know Boots does. Spray starch is great when ironing, but only if the item isn't coloured/you don't use too much (or, you end up with starchy splodges on it ) Rice or potato water can help (if hand washing) because of their "natural" starch properties - but have to confess, it is a loooooong while since I used this method Ok, so, to be more precise about your query: bed linen - use washing machine starch shirts - use spray when ironing Bottom line: do not use either in excess or you will find dh walking like he has a rod up his back; or, when sleeping you will find you are rigid from over starching Folllow the instructions and you will be fine on both counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
