As is often the case for products that we can't get here. I still had the old CC box and just checked it ... yes, it had been translated to French. So that's hardly their reason, as they'd already gone to that expense.

I'm wondering what is in the colour catcher that it is no longer available here.
You had me ... about the multiple washings. I checked my box, and there's no reference like that . I've been using them when pre-washing fabrics. As I had been with the Colour Catchers, I was getting surprises as to colours that left themselves behind!! If I notice a problem, I have been treating with Retayne to stabilize. And then do another check. And keep doing so, til I feel "safe".

What store(s) did you find them in, here in Canada?

As I mentioned earlier, it is Canada where they are not available, any longer ... and why I am searching out an alternative.

Are you USA or Canada? Just wondering, as I'd like to know which stores they are in, here in Canada.
