You have just put the fear in me in using Retayne. I've used it for years, following the hot water wash for 20 minutes, using one teaspoon for each yard, and drying immediately instructions, with NO problem. You mentioned 'reading the instructions first"....what didn't you do that may have caused your whites to turn pink? I've NEVER had to use color catchers.[/QUOTE]
A few members said that sometimes it's just bad fabric. This has got to be true as it's still bleeding after using Retayne, 5 or 6 washings, and a whole box of color catchers.
