If you could spray anything onto your clothes or linens when you iron, what would it be? What if you could spray it directly from your iron instead of using a separate bottle or can?

Anything besides starch?

I use an eco - friendly spray starch I think it's by Ecos or Ecover and it smells good too. I would prefer to spray it from the container.

I use plain water... I spray it from a spray bottle. I used to spray it from the iron itself but then the calcium built up and it started leaving little white chunks all over the clothes I'd iron. Now, if you use distilled water it prevents that, but I didn't learn that until after it ruined my iron. You could clean the iron with some chemical junk but I take the lazy way and just spray the water on with a cheap spray bottle. I don't like the feeling of starch, and this seems to take out wrinkles just as well.

If you don't like the stiff feel of spray starch, you can try Magic Sizing. It sprays on like starch and helps prevent the wrinkles from coming back too quickly, but doesn't leave the stiff feel. The only thing that you should ever put in your iron is water if you so happen to have a steam iron. Using distilled water is best so as to prevent mineral build up in and on the iron. If that occurrs, use white vinegar to run through it and wipe off the heat plate.

Starch is good for a nice crisp and fresh press, especially if you desire making visible and defined creases. Directy/evenly spraying water/starch mixture on the clothing is more effective and will reduce clogging than using the internal steam production of the iron or a aerosol can of starch.

I use a seperate 'water' bottle to spray on my linen clothes to help get out the wrinkles while I am ironing them, works better than the sprayer on the iron.

Water. I'd spray it from the nice new iron I bought my mother last christmas, but I don't iron much, and the last time I looked for it, she had thrown it out, so I'm back to using an old Raid spray can full of water, and her 35 year old iron, with a 2 prong cord, and five feet of bare metal wire showing. You can probably guess one of the reasons I don't iron much.

I use starch, it comes in a can and you spray it directly onto the the clothes, works great.

I put distilled water in a spray bottle and mist lightly. You can also put it in a iron for steam ironing but I think the first way is best for me. Have fun ironing.

I use water. I use a spray bottle instead of the iron so that the iron will not corrode.
