If you haven't already discovered the beauty of the Shout Color Catchers, your wait is over. My sister-in-law Linda told me about this and it has saved me loads of laundry. Basically, you throw one, or half (I rip them in half for small loads) of a Color Catcher sheet into the washing machine with your clothes and these babies suck the color out of the water so it doesn't transfer to the other clothes. I threw all three of the sheets above into different loads - the white sheet still remained white because I threw it into a white load with only a couple of colored things just to make sure color didn't get onto my whites.
I'm not going to tell you that throwing one of these into a batch full of new red shirts with white ones will stop any color from transferring. I am going to tell you that in general it makes it possible to mix colors with whites. Such a lifesaver when you don't have time or enough of each to do them separately. Love these!
What are your tried and true laundry tips?

Wow. THAT is way cool. Especially for a lazy launderer like me. And even more so for my even-more-lazy-with-laundering youngest two sons!

I can't say I have heard of these. They sound great; thanks!
Cool! I have never seen these and I am always wishing I could throw the whites and the colors in together...thanks for sharing!
I just had to buy cardinal red shirts for my kids' school uniforms. My color catcher came out of the load dark pink! Love those things!
