Would RecommendMy local grocery store had them on clearance a year ago and I bought all they had. But now I am panicking - I don’t want to make vodka starch or cornstarch… I want my Sta-Flo back!

Reconsider your decision to discontinue.
Have used liquid starch for quilting for 20 years. Many of my friends also use. We are saddened by your decision to stop making it . There are no other products like this. I suggest you make it and sell in quilt stores, on line shops that quilters us etc. we simply can’t live without it!!!!

Please bring it back!!!!!!!
Please bring it back. I am an art teacher. This is the perfect, safer, compromise instead of using paper mache paste. It is amazing!!!!

PLEASE change back to prior formula!
Would Not RecommendThis is definitely different than the previous version. Fattier and the smell is different and unpleasant. So disappointing. Used for ages and will not buy again.

A miracle stain fighter
Would RecommendI'm on a budget and trying to reduce plastic waste, so I thought I'd try the original pre-treater. This little bar of soap works amazing on stains, it even gets blood out. In combination with old fashioned powdered laundry detergent, it gets stains out on the first wash. Even pre-treaters for specific stains can't do that. No wonder it's been a staple in every laundry room for ages.

Used to be great, not anymore thanks to new owners
Would Not RecommendEverything our family loved about Fels Naptha has changed and we are mourning the loss of a once great product. Summit brand leadership has made terrible decisions regarding the changes to this once great product. We are no longer using it and are seeking out older Purex bars while we can find them.

The smell is awful
Would Not RecommendIt used to smell so good, vaguely lemony and clean. The new scent smells like cheap mens Cologne and I’m terrified to wash my clothes in it.

Please Bring Back
Would RecommendThere is nothing on the market like this product and it works so impeccably. I would even pay a higher price point for this product. I can't see the logic in discontinuing a product that is so clearly in high demand.
