Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Still not impressed with this over rated and over priced product. It is scented; it is in an eco-friendly non-aerosol bottle; it doesn't cause flaking; and, is touted as being a "starch alternative" - but it is still actually just STARCH. Unlike other starch products, Best Press does not disclose its ingredients on its bottles (or Mary Ellen Products' website) - something that should bother purchasers.
There is no secret to avoiding "flaking" - you simply spray lighter. Aerosol spray starches tend to be more condensed and used alone will often result in some white flaking. Spraying a bit of water together with your aerosol spray starch eliminates that problem.
Most quilters tend to be frugal. Using Best Press is NOT frugal - its cost (for the gallon refill) is .53 cents per ounce! The 6 oz spray bottle at $4.09 is a whopping .68 cents per ounce!
A much less expensive option is Niagara's Non-Aerosol Spray Starch - $1.99 for 22 oz - or .09 cents per ounce (the price I pay at my local grocery store). It doesn't flake either - though I've tried to make it... And, the non-aerosol Niagara Niagara Non-Aerosol Spray Starch, 22 oz (Pack of 6)comes with a really nice linen scent. So, you can be eco-friendly, budget friendly, avoid that awful flaking and get a nice fresh scent.
If I were to buy 22 oz of Best Press my cost would be about $11.66. I can buy the 22 oz Niagara and have enough left over for a yard of my favorite quilt fabric! I won't waste my money on Best Press. I'd rather buy Niagara (non-aerosol) AND fabric.
