I'm not ready to go that far,yet, but they have worked exceedingly well on the things I have used on. There are several brands. I use the Shout color catcher, available in the detergent aisle at stores that carry them. froggyintexas

I would be lost if they quit making them. I use them in regular laundry and my quilts.

Canada pulled them from the market, but, have not heard any other places. I see them on my stores shelves.

I have never purchased them, mainly because I wash in cold water and haven't had a problem.

They are still on the shelves at my Walmart, Target and grocery store. I use the Shout brand. If they discontinued them, there sure would be a lot of upset people raising a ruckus with them! :)

I will be stocking up just in case.My boss retired and I made him a red,white and blue quilt. I did not pre wash,so I gave him a couple to use, he said they worked great with the red and blue going to the color catcher, I am so glad I did , or my hard work would be ruined.
