A Good Thing (as Martha would say)

So, Tracey, a friend of mine recently told me about this color catcher sheet that you put in your laundry so that the colors don't bleed onto eachother. It is very cool! It was perfect timing because I recently bought a new white and red striped shirt and I wasn't sure how to wash it without getting my white pink.. Also Olivia's Christmas outfit is white and red together. So, I tried it and it totally worked! No red on the white! It says on the box you don't have to seperate colors for your laundry anymore.. but I think I will and I'll just use them on occasion! But, it's cool. You've gotta try it!

Good! I have some of those things--a different brand though. They were expensive. I used them when I washed Em's dark blue and white quilt. I don't know how or why they work but they're fantastic! I'm with you, I'll keep separating my colors for the wash. Shout just wants you to buy their product ;)

I just wish I'd found them before I turned all of Dave's garments blue. OOPS!

Tracey, That's kind of like the time I soaked all mine in warm water in Oxy-Clean so they'd be bright white again...only to find out the next morning that there were some black pantihose mixed in with all the whites. Voila...gray undies! Nothing worked to fix it either!
