I just wash my reds separate, put on a second rinse and look ay the water. If it is red, I put more soap and do another full cycle. I only had to do that once, most of the time, the first wash with a second rinse is more than suffice. Never used a color catcher, another gimmick to get your money, never heard of those things ten years ago.

You may be able to find it at your LQS but best bet is to buy it on line.
