Shout Color Catcher
 

You're all reading this thinking, "Why has KR started a laundry-related thread? She's such a geek." Well, I can't argue with that but I am so impressed with Shout Color Catcher that I had to share my experience with you. I'm generous that way :)

You just toss a dye-trapping sheet into your wash and it keeps clothing colors from bleeding together. I just washed a new red shirt with a white collar and the collar stayed completely white. It's awesome stuff!

Two thumbs up from this laundry-doing mom!


ETA: Yikes! Sounds like I'm writing advertising copy. Sorry! I get excited about the strangest things.

I've been using these for a while now -- I always throw them in the wash when I'm doing colors and sometimes whites (I've had too many mishaps with that proverbial red sock!). I love them! Glad to know there's someone else out there who appreciates them the way I do. :D

edited to fix the word i just made up

"Why has Nut responded to a laundry-related thread? She's such a geek."

Here, here! I totally agree with you, KR. Those Shout Color Catchers have saved me many times. They're like magic.

I don't really understand how these work. Why would the dye go to the color catcher and not other white stuff??? Science baffles me sometimes.

Thanks for the recommendation! I had a beautiful shirt that I ruined a few years ago when I put it in the wash. It was black with white patterns on it. The patterns turned an ugly grayish color. :( The label said the shirt was machine washable!

I've been taking shirts like that to the drycleaners but I'll definitely have to try this Shout Color Catcher!

Wow, I will have to try this too!

Hey thanks for the thread KR. I didn't know about this.

Hmm....I might have to invest in some of these. I'm already a huge fan of the Shout Wipes since I'm such a klutz. Thanks for the review.

So I'm posting back-to-back in this thread. I went out and bought these today because recently I've lost some weight and I've got a pair of jeans that are the next size down in my closet that I like a lot. Problem is, I accidently washed them with a new red shirt last year and it stained them horribly. I'd been trying to figure out what I was going to do with them. The Color Catcher was amazing. I tossed it in with the load and when I pulled them out, I was shocked. They were perfectly clean and free of pinkish red spots. Thank you KR! :D

OH, this is so on my list. I have a combination of red and white sheets on my bed and because I am not smart, I washed them together. I hope this will fix it!
