. Yes! only use 2 at a time. they go right in with the soap. also great if you wash a quilt and it runs, just wet the sheet and lightly scrub the area.

there in the laundry area of your grocery store.

granted they are called color catchers, but do they perhaps aid in the bleeding of the color in the first place?

No! They have cleaaned up black runs for me. They stabalize the colors!

I am not familiar with that brand but I do know that Shout color catchers DO WORK!!

I use colour catchers in every load of washing, and it never stops to amaze me at the different colours these catchers emerge after a wash. lol

I love the Shout colorcatchers! I wash all my new the fabric with them.

YES! I use them the first time I wash anything, fabric or clothes. I have never had a bleeding problem with them.
They are not available in Canada, so I have to cross the border to get them. Sorry, it is the Shout Color Catchers that I use.

I have never heard of Oxiclean Color Catchers but I use the Shout ones all the time.
