I have used both Shout & Carbona color catchers. Works about the same and I reuse mine for several loads unless DH sees it "looking dirty" and then he tosses it.

I'm going to try the No Sort if it doesn't have fragrance. will have to check it out.

Walmart here sells two brands. Shout Color Catcher and Carbona Color Grabber. Also Purex No Sort detergent works. I use it for all my fabric and quilt washing. I washed a piece of red fabric that I know bleeds with a white piece of cotton fabric. No color on the white fabric.

Don't know about fragrance(s) but be wary of the dye color additives. DD is allergic to 2 of them and that detergent didn't work for us.

I found Breezy at WM when the Shout brand spot was empty. They work just as well.

If you can't find color-catchers locally, here is a link to making your own. I would guess you could use old color-catcher's to make new ones. If not any white piece of cotton should work just fine.

There is another brand called "grab It" sold at Wal-Mart.

Carbona also makes color catchers. Shout and the Carbona brand can be found at Walmart

Shout color catchers in store laundry section.

I just had to post again. I ran into our local little market and what should be in a cart saying "everything 99 cents each" but color catchers. I snagged 4 boxes and may go back for more before they are all gone. Happy dance here, can you hear the earth tremble?
