I do have to admit that we don't work outside or in heavy dirt producing industries. The towels are still very absorbent. I wonder if it has to do with the water? Or that I use Zote laundry soap? Anyway, I like the idea of it.

Do you find that Zote works better or the same as Fels Naptha?

About 10 years ago I heard on some TV show that you could use a white terry cloth hand towel to catch the loose color. Nothing was said about soda ash. I threw them in the wash and reused them for a couple of years. When they got really bad, I replaced them with some other old towels. Works great for me.

SouthPstitches,
I use the Shout brand color catchers and reuse them until they are a dark color.
