I use them with great results. But I do use 3 for a big quilt. I've not had any problems with colors bleeding into others on the quilts, but the color catchers get quite grungy, which to me says they are working. At least they have worked for me so far.

Consumer IS funded by many companies. They want you to do more washes and use more of their detergents, softeners, etc. I used to do about 9 loads a week, now I do 4. Thats a big savings over a period of 1 year.

From my experience with these sheets I have found that you may need to add more than one sheet. The box also states this. I have also noticed that if I use them it draws the dye out and fades my fabric. So I will stick to washing colors separate. Just my opinion.

I use them and no problems! I am not going to fix something that is not broke!
I will continue to use my common sense when washing something that is questionable. I will also continue to use color catchers!
