As far as we know, these colour catchers are not available in Canada. We used to be able to buy Zero Dye Magnet to put in the wash, but not now. So glad I bought lots when they were in the discount bin.

I love them... i have to go state side to get them without paying a fortune for them but luckily i'm close to the border where i am at. it's only a quick 5min trip to the bridge.

I tried the Shout on the Red/Black/White one that I made and they worked fine. I used 4 of them.

Shout...use it lots, even with our clothes.

Shout color catchers is all I will ever use. They are great.

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.

Good information - thanks for sharing!

I just love Shout Color Catcher. Go to their website & you can even get free coupons. I use Shout sheets with all of my regular laundry too.
