Thanks, Ladies
I certainly appreciate all the suggestions. I have also heard that the Tide stain stick might work, but I'm wondering if anyone knows any reason why I shouldn't try it.

Synthrapol is also available on Amazon now.
One thing to note is that a color bleeding doesn't necessarily mean it will stain another fabric. Fabrics vary in how they "take up" free-floating dye particles. With a bleeding red, some white fabrics will turn pink while others may stay white. The color-catchers are the equivalent of the white fabric that turns pink. What I have noted with the color catchers is that there is only so much free-ranging dye that they can absorb. If you have a badly bleeding red, all the color catchers you can stuff into the washing machine may not be enough......
