That's what works for me, knock on wood, I have never had a bleed yet even with my son's cranberry and white quilt.

Orvis, it is sold at quilt shops. but you can get it at Tractor Supply. It is used for washing horses. I know, crazy. Cheeper at supply store. Very gentle. I know someone that washes her hair with it.

I was just wondering if you have a front loading machine, will synthrapol still be able to work with the low water level?

I have no clue as to what to use. I guess I would use my cheap laundry soap. Penny

I heard this too, which is why I don't use it either for needlework etc.

That amazes me as I thought they advertised to use for all your hand washables. Guess formulations have changed. I was considering getting woolite for my quilts but tide has never hurt them but I do NOT buy the tide with bleach either.

The dye catcher sheets are called "Shout Color Catcher". It comes in a box. I think that there are 3. You can get them at Walmart or your local supermarket. They're great and they really do work!
