I talk about following little traditions from your mother and grandmother without ever knowing why. It seems like my grandmother was always a busy little bee, cooking, gardening, and cleaning. My grandmother was queen at time management because I also remember her painting and playing the piano. She also had a FT job.I will never know how she did it all except that my suspicions of her being related to Wonder Woman are correct. We learned at an early age how to cook, clean, and iron. All our clothes were ironed including jeans. Pop’s shirts didn’t need to go to the cleaners because grandma pressed and starched each one.
When I started keeping house, I too ironed but tried to avoid it like the plague. I would iron my husband’s shirts but never did I use starch even though my mother faithfully made sure I had it. I didn’t want to break her heart and tell her that it sat in my laundry room cupboard unless I was using it for a craft project.
When I was told you always use starch, I was not told all the benefits of WHY you should use it. I really thought it was used to keep collars straight and to keep creases in. In case you were naive like I was, there are many reasons you should use starch on your clothes and linens.
Since 1887, Faultless has been by the ironing board’s side – there to help make people feel good about how they dress. Faultless Premium is the perfect solution to help rid yourself of the “Wrinkle Blues.” Check them out here.
Having A Dinner Party?
When you use starch on your linens they look their best, but did you know that it makes them easier to clean!
- Tablecloths – This creates the canvas of creating a beautiful table setting. It’s important to use Faultless starch so when guests spill their red wine or drop a piece of lasagna it will be easier to clean.
- Napkins – We like to get creative with the art of folding napkins. I would make sure I bought the correct napkins but our swan’s head would still flop over no matter what we tried. The trick is to use starch for a picture perfect napkin!
- Placemats – I would wash these the day before and lay them flat and then iron them but the ends would still curl. It drove me crazy! Once you add starch they lay flat and look new. Beats going out and buying new linens for every holiday or dinner party!
Going Out On The Town Or To An Interview
Faultless Premium helps clothes look like new. It gives you all of the sharpness and unlike other starch, the Faultless Premium bottle won’t clog, flake or stick. This is perfect for dark fabrics. It also reduces ironing time which will give you more time to perfect your makeup or hair. Shirts, skirts, dresses, and slacks should be starched to make people take notice of how sharp you look! Faultless Premium will keep you clothes looking new – it’s the starch that performs.
Fashions and fabrics may change but looking your best will always in!
Traveling or Vacations
When traveling you don’t have time to waste ironing clothes that look like crape paper. You have to fit all of your clothes and necessities in one suitcase and everything gets squished especially as the suitcase is thrown around by the airline. Iron and starch your clothes before you go making any needed touch-ups a breeze. I also roll my clothes so it eliminates and chance of creases.
Create Homemade Crafts
There are many crafts you can make with starch. Check out Faultless Starch website and get your craft on. https://faultless.com When my kids were younger, I used to make their invitations to go with the theme of their party. You can also make paper mache’ paste and a beautiful candlelight catcher.
