I think my box said 30 washes. I can no longer find that kind and have picked up a box of the sheets but they can only be used once, i use three at a time.

I have the same one, I think. It has a little "keep track of" area on the box with circles that you color in and when you get to the last one, you throw it out. I have 12 circles colored in now (with grandkids crayons) and it is an ugly grey, but it is still working. (18 quilts to go)!!!! It gets a little darker with each use. Have no complaints whatsoever. To be honest, it is the only one I have ever had and thank God, I have never had a color run, but I wanted to be totally on the safe side!! I feel too much work goes into a quilt to have a red or black run into a quilt. So I opt for the easiest solution. And I never throw it in the dryer. That's what the instructions say. Hang it up on a line in the basement or wherever and let it line dry! I hate to think of what that little bugger would do in a dryer. I got mine at the grocery store!!!!!! Not expensive at all considering how many quilts you save in the process! Edie

Can you please tell me what a colour catcher is and where to get them ? I'm in Tasmania and have never heard of such a thing.

I just finished probably my first quilt that I didn't prewash everything - and wouldn't you know it has lots of bright colors in it. I'm so grateful for this product, and hope it protects the quilt - I haven't had the nerve to try washing it yet, but have bought the catchers to use when the time comes. Thanks for all the tips and info.

Me. too. Guess I'll have to go read the box. LOL!!

I re use mine several times till they get dark. Then I use them in my art quilts!! I love these things. I had to start hiding them from my son...I think he thought they were dryer sheets!! What a great product.

I didn't know they could be used more than once! Always learn something new here.

I get mine at the local grocery store in the soap isle. If you don't see it you could ask them to carry it. My local store is very good about fulfilling requests.

I use the ones that look like fabric softener sheets. I have usually just used once because i don't use them with every load, just when I know something is new or as in unwashed fabrics.
I have put them in the dryer with the load I put them with in the wash. Then I throw them out.
