- Borax: With its anti-fungal & anti-bacterial properties,just one table spoon of Borax can give a glossy appearance also preserves the starch for a longer period.
- Alum: A tablespoon of Alum can give a more whiter and crispier finish to the starch,not to mention the viscosity it adds to the starch making it easier to spray.
