I use them for quilts that I didn't wash the fabric before making and those with a lot of white/light colors in them. I only use them in clothing when I am doing my father-in-law's things because I have very small loads and wash them together.

I always separate the laundry, but I have several dark shirts that have white collar and cuffs and the white part doesn't look dingy when I use the Shout sheets. The sheets look really dingy! I don't think I shall be without them.

I've been using these a while and find them very handy, but the other day I didn't have much washing so threw a mixed wash in with 3 shout sheets(2 had been pre-used), I hadn't realised there was a red pair of shorts in the mix which had really run, the sheets had saved all the washing, but my brand new bra, which is now a dinghy pink, typical isn't it. I'll keep using them for mixed colours, but won't chance whites in the mix again.

I am choosy about when I use them. I definitely use them on the tops and shirts that have white has an accent to the darker colours on them.I use them whenever I wash a quilt that has any bright colours. Dark jeans with hubby'sdark socks and underwear? Not a chance! :-)

There is also a terry cloth that does the same thing. It is from Carbona,made in Germany; color grabber and is reusable for 30 wash loads. I got mine at Hancock fabrics for under $5. But have seen them at Walmart, but a different brand. I use them for every washload and when I wash my new fabrics and quilts.
