What is "spray starch"?

Spray starch is a type of laundry product that helps in keeping the clothes crisp and wrinkle-free. It is a liquid spray that is applied to the clothes while ironing. The starch in the spray sticks to the fabric, making it stiff and easier to iron. The spray starch can be used on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, linen, and synthetic blends. It is available in different types, such as heavy-duty, light-duty, and no-iron, depending on the desired level of stiffness and ironing ease. Spray starch has been used for decades to make clothes look more professional and well-pressed.
