I agree, there would be no point in using a color catcher with a Retayne treatment. I have only tried the Retayne once, with a red batik that I was worried about. I use the color catcher in the washer if I'm washing different colored fabrics together. Usually the color catcher comes out looking clear. I suppose I should soak all dark fabrics in the hot water to check for bleeding, but thus far I've been too lazy/impatient to do that.
