Default help, please

what is the name of the product you use in the washer, to keep the colors from running together or bleeding? Thank you for you help, Michele

I use Synthrapol. Works better, in my opinion, than color catchers.

Whichever one you use, you want to use it in a washing machine that uses LOTS of water. Water is necessary to dilute any bleeds that do occur.

I use Shout Color Catchers, sometimes two or three, depending on the fabric. I have a front loader machine which conserves water and have not a any problems with colors.

Color catchers can be found at Joann Fabrics, too. Great way to use those extra coupons....
