. 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.

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

Thanks!

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

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.
