Ironing is hardly one of the favorite household chores for most housewives.

We dare to assume that this happens only because they do everything the old-fashioned way, without resorting to modern life hacks that can significantly simplify this process.

For example, many experienced housewives have long used potato starch when ironing clothes.

Thanks to this product, any creases and folds are easily smoothed out. Starch is especially effective on cuffs, sleeves and collars.
