That's the advantage of the Shout or Dr. Beckmann's products ... you don't have to hang around and try to figure it out. It grabs up the dye!
For all ... please keep in mind that the Colour Catchers/Collectors do not stop colour bleeding for future washes. It is not a treatment. It may take several washes before bleeding stops ... or a Retayne treatment to do the job.
