  • Question
    Can I use rubbing alcohol instead of vodka?
    Community Answer
    No. Vodka is made from potatoes, and potatoes have a high starch content, which is why you can use vodka to starch a shirt. Rubbing alcohol does not contain starch.

  • Question
    How do I launder, starch, and iron a detached wing collar?
    Community Answer
    It is suggested to dry clean a detached wing collar. If you want to do it on your own, wash it in warm water and mild soap. Remove the excess water. Once it has dried out some, spray it with starch, iron it, and then hang it to dry.
