I took myself off to the supermarket yesterday and was going to purchase some spray starch. I stood in the aisle and read the backs of the cans. Good thing I did, because each one said it wasn&#8217;t suitable for use on linen fabric. I was quite surprised because I thought starching linen fabric was a reasonably common thing! If there&#8217;s any fabric you might want to get the wrinkles out of, it&#8217;s linen!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m in Australia, so the brands I saw were Fabulon, Crisp (both aerosol and trigger spray) and the Woolworths home brand one.<\/p>\n<p>Can you suggest an alternative product? I&#8217;m particularly looking for Australian products, however, as I realise that my readers are not all in Australia, others might be able to suggest products that others can use in the same situation wherever they are in the world. If you have suggestions, please suggest them AND say what country you&#8217;re in.<\/p>\n<p>But please, *I&#8217;m* particularly interested in Australian products or solutions I can use to starch my linen fabric shirt. I&#8217;m also happy to hear of more traditional starching methods (ones that don&#8217;t come in a can).
