We were very busy today doing the cleaning and tidying before I start decorating for Christmas. (Hubby helps clean but he leaves the decorating to me!) Paul went to put some laundry in the machine including a very pretty, new red shirt of mine that has an attached white insert.(It had never been washed) and I was sure the white would be pink after the wash was done! All the laundry was red items except for this little bit of white AND a white sock that got in there by mistake. I caught him just as the washing machine was filled with really warm water... and thought "OH NO!" I remembered the color catchers that I bought and threw one in and hoped for the best.
HAPPY to say they work and my top is perfect as was the sock!! |
Thanks for passing on the info. It will save lots of aggravation as Christmas and all the reds come out. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Aren't those the most wonderful laundry aide? :D:D:D
|
kewl what a great testimonial. I will definately get some at the market soon. tfs.
|
I bought some from the advice of this board and am so glad!!
|
i love the color catchers i made a navy and light blue quilt and it had a white shashing and when i washed it no bleeding accured.
|
I washed a piece of black fabric with white roses with a color catcher. It came out like it went in. I needed more and forgot the color catcher. The roses were a pale gray. A third washing with a CC helped a lot, but it doesn't have the definition in the flowers the first piece has. Live and learn.
I wish JoAnn's still sold the reusable one. It worked well, too. |
They really are an amazing thing. I used them yesterday when I was washing a rag quilt that I did that had dark browns, sage greens, and bright aquas. The aquas came out beautiful, and the color catchers came out dark, so I know that they were doing their job.

They are wonderful. Have saved lots of loads of laundry and quilts.
|
Yup it worked for me too. I just threw in one new red item and oh boy. I forgot it was there. I just happened to throw in a color catcher and when the laundry came out it was perfect and the color catcher was a very dark reddish rose color. Worth the money.
