Make your own fabric starch in old fashion way with only one ingredient.
Ingredients
All purpose flour/Maida
Water
All purpose flour/Maida
Water
Preparation
There is no preparation needed.
Procedure
Take some water in a vessel and keep it on medium flame. You do not need to measure the water. I took approximately 6 cups of water. In a small bowl take 2-3 tbsp of all purpose flour or Maida flour and mix with some water without any lumps. Add this to boiling water slowly while you stir with the other hand. Bring this to a boil while you stir continuously. You will notice that the water is thickening slightly. Switch off the flame and let it cool off.
Once it is cooled off, it is ready to use. You can do it in the kitchen sink or in the bathroom. I did it in the kitchen sink because I only did on one saree.
Dip your saree or shirt in plain water first. Make sure you unfold the saree to get wet evenly. Wring it well and keep aside. Pour off that water and take some more fresh water in a big vessel or bucket. Strain the fabric starch into the bucket of water to remove any lumps. You may add more water if needed to dip the saree. Take the wet saree and dip in the starch water. Let it soak completely in the starch water. Squeeze out the water.
With the help of another person hold the saree on both sides and shake it once to remove any folds and spread it on the grass or side walk. Make sure the surface is clean. If you have a full sun the cotton saree will get dry in just 10 minutes. If you are drying colored clothes remove from sun as soon as it is dry. Otherwise it fades out the color. Now your saree is ready to fold and iron.
