Question
How can I remove fabric stiffener?  I have tried soaking in hot water, boiling water in microwave and adding 1 tbs. laundry detergent and soaking the item. (this I found somewhere in the internet).. But nothing I try works.  Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

Answer
Hi Carrie,

Do you know the brand? Starch will wash out with what you did so I'm guessing it is not starch. Kinds like Aleens are permanent a far as I know.

I wish I could be more help. If you have the bottle and know the brand they should have an 800 # to call...good luck. -Jamie
