User questions & answers

Question:	Is the scent free version clear, or is coloring added as in the picture? I'd rather not spray any dyes on my clothes
Answer:	Mary Ellen’s Best Press is a mixture of starch and sizing. While the exact ingredients are not listed, starch for fabric is most often made from Corn Starch (like found on the bakery aisle - to thicken gravies). Starch adds body/stiffness to a fabric. This makes it sturdier to cut using a rotary blade cutter. Sizing is a chemical polymer which aids the warp and weft threads slide easily over one another. It improves the feel of the fabric to aid in handling to cut. Quilters have used corn starch for years. Most people pressed men’s dress shirts with starch for the past 75 years (once cardboard dress collars when out of style). My chemist daughter assures me that formaldehyde does not fall into the same class as the vegetable or synthetic polymers described on Mary Ellen’s website. Like other household chemicals this is a product which should NOT be drunk. Keep away from children. There are several fragrances, and I like the fresh smell it brings to fabrics I am preparing to use. It does not attract bugs. It helps shed dirt from treated cloth...(my cat’s hair easily is removed with a tape roller). The sizing and starch are removed when washed with a laundry detergent. I wash my finished quilts (top sewn, batting, backing, quilted together and bias binding edge sewn into place) before giving them to others. I have no way of knowing who may receive my charity quilts and do not want the starch, school glue which I use on seams, and sizing, to cause any problems.
Question:	We need something to stiffen the "vertical pull down accordion paper blinds" on our RV windows. Anyone care to make a guess as to its capability
Answer:	I have. but if your quilting I do not use steam.
Question:	My recent order did not come with the spray nozzle. Is is supposed to? I just have a bottle with a cap
Answer:	I spray my clothes, towels, curtains and bedwears with a MIST atomizer and the steamer does an excellent job with NO effort to remove and keep away wrinkles. FYI, if I can do it, been a guy, you can do it too. Nothing wrong and a better way to lay down on a bed that smells great after a very long stressful day at work.
Question:	The title of the product on Amazon says "scent free" but the picture shows a citrus scent. Has anyone bought this product from Amazon? Scent free
Answer:	I am an avid quilter. Consequently I do a lot of ironing. I use both regular starch and Best Press; each have pro's and con's. I have used Best Press for years. It doesn't, in my opinion, act exactly the same as regular starch. I use regular starch to stabilize my fabric when I am prepping it for cutting. I use BP as I am piecing to get seams to lie flat and reduce bulk where multiple seams meet. It is superior for that because it relaxes the fibers. Two cautions. 1st I have had fabrics bleed when using BP. Typically blues and reds. 2nd when I have been heavy handed with regular starch--the non-flake kind--BP will cause it to flake. Hope this gives you some perspective. I'm not even going to address the "10 times better" that is just marketing.

User questions & answers

Question:	how to apply on collars
Answer:	It is 20 pounds of game. Most games are 2-5 pounds. So you are getting a game and 5-10 expansions at once.
Question:	Does this product contain Benzisothiazolinone
Answer:	Nope :) my boyfriend and I both set it up and played. The game explains the set up as you go so no one has to miss out on the fun!
Question:	Is the lavender scent natural or artificial
Answer:	You can pause the timer for a long time. I've turned my phone off and it still kept the time when I turned it back on. You may, however, want to double-check your specific phone's ability to do this before relying on it.
Question:	Can this be used on silk
Answer:	No. I suspect that, by the time you take the trouble to spend the time and money for the pieces and for shipping, etc., you will have been better off just buying another copy of the game for the retail price of $15.

User questions & answers

Question:	I dont get whether this product is starch or an alternative to starch. Does this use synthetic or natural wheat/ corn starch? For relevance, see http://www.ravefabricare.com/true-quality-cleaning/2010/8/19/why-your-light-starched-shirts-feel-stiff.aspx
Answer:	It's split into several chapters. Each chapter takes about 60 minutes (or more) to play. I think our campaign was about 14 chapters, and often it took us two hours to finish a chapter.
Question:	So is this lavender or caribbean
Answer:	Basically yes, the version on kickstarter has some edits done to the rule book to clear up some rules and other small adjustments. However the game includes us exactly the same content. The reason it's 60$ more here is it's being sold by a scalper hoping to cash in on people being impatient.
Question:	Am I to assume this bottle does NOT come with a sprayer top, just a cap
Answer:	If this is in regards to Brooklyn Toys pre-orders, see the following threads: https://boardgamegeek.com/article/28076686#28076686 https://boardgamegeek.com/article/28076827#28076827 Apparently they're scamming Gloomhaven preorder customers. They are saying they only got 5% of their orders, which is incorrect and against what Ceph has been posting for months. They're simply attempting to make the most off the product by shipping all of their copies to the highest price payers first to ensure they can't refund when they find out the MSRP is 140 and not 250. This is a horrible seller and the community should know this.
Question:	Anybody used a fabric steamer with this spray? If so, does it have the same effect as ironing
Answer:	This Version of the game (Retail) comes with plastic miniatures for the player classes. Monsters are cardboard standees.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used as anti-static spray on garments while they are being worn? Thx
Answer:	Hello: the manufacturer indicates that a typical game takes 60 to 100 minutes. This would be for experienced board game players with primary knowledge of the rules.
Question:	How does this smell after you use it on your clothes
Answer:	Components include: 4 plastic miniatures, 24 wooden dice, 1 rulebook, 4 quick reference sheets, 3 double-sided act boards, 1 hordes board, 4 player boards, 4 health counters, 18 double-sided potion tiles, 5 rage tiles, 12 skill tiles (3 for each character), 24 skill cards (6 for each character), 12 achievement tiles, 3 divine intervention tiles, 6 starting bonus cards, 84 demon/item cards, 51 demon lord cards, 84 plastic gem tokens, and 85 round plastic stamina, focus, and hits tokens
Question:	What are the listed ingredients in this product? Is it really an alternative to commercial starch with all the nasty chemicals? Thanks
Answer:	Yes. As of July 2020 an expansion called Shadowed Paths was released. This includes 5 new heroes, more map tiles and game features, and campaign added to the app. All heroes can now be mixed and matched for the original and expansion campaigns.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use this in a washing machine on the rinse cycle? and is it possible to use without ironing
Answer:	If you get the camera without background replacement, green screen effects will require external software (Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, etc) to create that effect.
Question:	How do I buy my own spray nozzle
Answer:	No it's not. It's a stripped down c920
Question:	I did not get a spray nozzle with my order? Does it not come with one? The picture shows one
Answer:	No, I received the C920x.
Question:	why did one person get stains
Answer:	It's not a c922. This is a weird official knockoff. This doesn't do 720p 60fps like the others (only 30fps)and doesn't let you use the background removal desire either. The serial number on mine lists a c920 and it's clearly not. Talking to logitech was useless as they don't seem to even know this camera exists and think it's a c920.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the complete ingredients in this product
Answer:	This is about the very best product you can use on 100Mary Ellen's Best Press is the best ironing agent you can use on 100% Cotton for removing wrinkles. I am a quilter and use this exclusively! Far better than any starch out there. However if you are not using really "good" quilting cotton fabric, I would not say it guarantees no fraying! To guarantee cut your strips with pinking shears, or serge the edges of your strips! Do not use synthetic or cotton blends, they will fray. Fabrics purchased at places like WalMart is cheap and does not hold up well! Excellent quality strips can be purchased at your local quilt shop, or you can go online and buy what is called a "Jelly Roll"! RE: Eleanor Burn's "Quilt In A Day" is one of my favorites, however, Beverly's Fabrics, Nancy's Notions, Joann Fabrics or Missouri Star Quilt Company all sell them. They all have websites with excellent quality precut strips. Robert Kaufman, and Robert Hoffman sell gorgeous excellent quality Jelly rolls! Missouri Star has the best deals, but you have to watch what you buy. Be aware of which manufactured fabric you choose to buy. I do hope this helps! Note: When cutting your strips yourself, use a clean "sharp" new blade in your Rotary Cutter, a straight edge ruler, and a fabric cutting mat. I would not cut multiple strips by tearing fabric, or with scissors. You simply can't get a good clean consistent straight cut. Happy Sewing or Quilting, what ever the case may be!
Question:	Does this work on Cotton/Polyester blend clothing
Answer:	Yes. One gallon. I use it for quilting, so it's going to last me a long time. Love it. And I think they've discontinued the peach...that's why I bought the big one.
Question:	Does it gunk up the iron
Answer:	Yes, if you’re meaning that you spray your fabric and iron it prior to working with it. I find working with fabric that has been sprayed and ironed crisp with Best Press easier to work with.
Question:	Can I use with a steamer instead of an iron? My clothes always get wrinkly from sitting all day
Answer:	I'm sorry, but the ingredients are not shown on the bottle. It does indicate a website of www.maryellenproducts.com and a telephone number of 1-800-328-6294.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is in mary ellen's best press. somebody told me it may contain formaldehyde
Answer:	I would not use it in the washing machine. I think it would be too diluted and loose it's affect. The iron activates the sizing. This is not like the old fashion starch.
Question:	do you use steam with this
Answer:	The 16 oz has a sprayer!! I buy this by the gal! But I had bought the 16 oz, so I just keep filling the 16 oz bottle!!
Question:	Can I put this (diluted) into a clothing steamer
Answer:	I didn't get one with it, I contacted customer service and they said I could return it. It should have come with the spray nozzle as it is pictured.
Question:	Is it possible that something was wrong with my bottle? Because it had very little difference, definately not 10 times better, like. claimed
Answer:	staining occurs when too much product is applied in one coat. Use very light coats. I never use more than two.
