Traditional Laundry Starch (2)

I had been looking for starch powder to use for our altar linen at my church. Boots used to do it but in recent years they have stopped its production. I tried this not knowing whether it would be good for purpose. When I got it out to use looked at the instructions and I like other purchasers thought scoop, what scoop? I thought back to when I was using my old starch and used 3 tablespoons of powder. I was absolutely delighted with the results, it did feel a little bit stiffer than it needed to be so perhaps next time I will try 2 tablespoons instead and see if this works. I am thrilled that I have found this and will continue to use it, thank you

If you avoid starching anything (as I do) but find that you have got to starch an item to be really stiff - this did a good job. It was slightly by trial, error and common sense as the instructions are for an initial litre of water & I was only starching one small item requiring not a lot of liquid. I can be more frugal in future.

Really good bit surprised at the size, very small packet... Bit deceiving... But otherwise ok

Great price

This is great for making slime- at first. This really annoyed me as it has now stopped working, I personally think it has a date- but yeah worked but doesn’t now!😢

Great quality I used for my cotton table cloth

This is great for making slime. You mix some PVA glue with a small amount of cold water and whatever colour you want, separately you mix 6 teaspoons of the laundry starch with half a cup of warm water and stir well to dissolve. You then add 4 to 6 teaspoons of the starch mixture to the glue mixture. Within seconds of mixing it, you will have fantastic slime. The relief, having tried so many other formulas, is enormous. Our kitchen has been a horrible mess for week, and nothing else worked til this!If you want puffy slime, you add a couple of squirts of shaving foam to the glue before you add the starch.

If you were considering buying this for slime activator, DON’T!!! It doesn’t work! So disappointing. I used this stuff about 5 years ago to make slime and it worked great- however I’ve read somewhere that they removed the borax (which is the ingredient that activates the slime). Not sure why, possibly because they don’t want people handling and touching the starch for health reasons. Just wish I could’ve found out before I bought it. Whatever. I do understand though why they don’t want people to potentially touch this stuff because it did start burning my skin a bit LOL. Very unfortunate but I have to make a joke out of it before I have a mental breakdown
