when you boil rice and drain them. Reserve the water and use it as starch for clothes.

Re: natural Starch..

Well I dont put all these things in plain boiled rice, so I dont know about the smell.
I dont even put oil while the rice are being boiled. As a matter of fact I dont put oil in plain rice at all. But my MIL adds the oil after draining the rice and when she's putting them on dum.

offcourse u coudnt use this pich for starching cloths otherwise people ask for the perfume u use.
u can use cornfloor or ararott ka aatta for starch too. dissolve cornfloor in water and cook it until it becoms a paste and use it for starch .

Re: natural Starch..

I think you should stick to spray starch :p

you mix some amount of the paste with water. First fill the tub/bucket with some water, add some of that paste. Mix it with your hands. Dip the cloth in water. Then put it outside in air and let it dry.

Re: natural Starch..

yes pyaric its very difficult to iron these cloths so iron them whne they r little wet,because once they dry it will become difficult to iron them,so spin these cloths but dont dry and iron them.that is the only reson that i use starch spary.
sometimes if the paste dont dissolve perfectly in water than it will effect the dark cloths not faint their colour but u will see white spots on it which go away after washing them so dissolve hot paste in water.
