    I just bought Arm & Hammer for my new HE washer. I love the scent. Lots of the typical brands (Tide, Era, etc....too many) are not environmentally friendly for septic tanks, which we are on. Not sure about color-catching ability. I use Color Catchers for that.

    the only special direction i give w/ a quilt is to wash it on a gentle cycle. I make bed size quilts, so they take up an entire load all by themselves!!

    i usually put it in the dryer to shorten the drying time.

    i use ERA soap. Used Tide when i had kids at home, it was great! But just for me - Tide is too expensive..

    I use any of the dye free detergents and color catchers for my laundry, especially if the clothes are new. I wash new quilts separately with the same detergent and color catchers.

    If you listen to the commercial it says that it works most of the time. They don't highlight that part but it is in there. They have to cover themselves for possible problems when something does bleed.
