A question ... do you think there is more reason to use Synthrapol ? colour catches? or no real difference and just a personal preference?
THANK YOU!!!
Personally, I think it makes far, far more sense to treat the cause instead of continually treating the symptoms. Retayne does that, the others don't. I test for running and treat with Retayne when necessary. End of problem.
When dealing with non-prewashed blocks from other quilters, I use Color Catchers until the colors stop running because they're easier to use in a hand wash, don't require such high water temps, and are readily available. One box lasts me a very long time.
