What is liquid starch?

Liquid starch is a solution used as a stiffening agent for fabrics and clothing, particularly in the process of ironing. It is commonly used to give clothing a crisp and sleek appearance or to form temporary pleats and creases.

Liquid starch can be applied to fabric before or during the ironing process. It is typically diluted with water and sprayed onto the fabric, then the fabric is pressed with an iron to activate the starch and achieve the desired level of stiffness.

Liquid starch can be made from a variety of ingredients, including cornstarch, wheat starch, or potato starch. Some commercial liquid starch products also contain synthetic additives to enhance their performance.

Liquid starch is commonly used in laundry rooms and dry cleaning facilities, as well as in crafting and DIY projects. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using liquid starch to avoid damaging fabrics or achieving undesirable results.
