Please bring Sta-Flo Liquid Starch Back!

It was amazing now it is terrible.

Would Not Recommend

We have used this for years and it was to go to product for stain removal and hand cleaning. With the reformulated product the scent is nauseating and it really does not do the job anymore. We actually threw one unopened bar out it’s so bad. Will never buy again, period.

You people are crazy

Would Recommend

Have you lost your ever loving mind by discontinuing this liquid starch? I have used this for years and I am a quilter and I am frustrated. It must’ve been some man who didn’t have a clue that chose to discontinue this product. Bring it back.!

Please consider bringing it back. As a crafter and quilter, it was the best and affordable starch product I used.

Bring it back!

Would Recommend

BRING IT BACK!!! I have a hard time believing that there wasn't a market for it, ESPECIALLY in the south, and for welders everywhere. Sounds like a decision made by a Suit in the northeast who's completely out of touch with the people who actually use their products. =(

Frustrated Quilter

Would Recommend

I agree with the other quilter. I normally buy several bottles at a time as I use it in my quilting. Now, I cannot find it anywhere locally. Online, it is simply too expensive for me to purchase. Since it is such a great product, I am not sure why it is no longer available.

Bring back Sta fo

Would Recommend

Please consider manufacturing this product again! There is just nothing on the market like it..when purex bought the product, how could they consider ever discontinuing it...for crocheting and starching items, this is the best product and now your company has taken this amazing opportunity to offer such product, away from its beloved consumers

Stay-Flo cannot be replaced!

Would Recommend

Please, please, please, bring Sta-Flo back!!! I used it constantly when I was a student, and now that I'm retired I wanted to go back to starched clothes! I am aghast that such an indispensable product has been discontinued. I implore you, bring it back!

Changed

Would Not Recommend

I have been making my own laundry powder since 2012. More recently, it isn’t performing the same. Now my husbands gym clothes come out of the wash still stinking. This was never an issue before. I remembered sometime after covid started, I had a hard time finding it for a while. So, I thought maybe they were bought by another company and changed the formula somehow. After searching online, sure enough it was. Now I’m at a loss for what to use.

Please bring it back

Would Recommend

Staflo used to keep my jeans and shirts looking clean and wrinkle free. Now I have to use multiple bottles of low quality aerosol starches to get the same level of crisp I am accustomed to. Discontinuing this product was a big mistake and it leaves a hole in the market that is not filled with a replacement. Luckily I found a bottle in my grandmas sewing supplies. I will be able to starch a few more jeans before it is gone forever.

I miss the old scent!!!

Would Not Recommend

I bought my first bar to get the stains out of my first baby's clothes and it worked magically! The smell was nostalgic and made me not mind cleaning all the tiny outfits. To my confusion when I bought the next bar the smell was awful. The cleaning power seemed a little weaker too, but that may have just been because I wanted everything clean faster so I could stop smelling it. Please go back to the better smell if at all possible!
