Betty,

I don't even know what a color catcher is, would like to be able to
find them though just to keep on hand. Can someone give me the brand
name of them and where I can find them?

Thanks and have a good weekend.

I must be extremely lucky....I've never had any colors run and I've never
used a color catcher. Now I've jinxed it for sure! But I have had
shrinkage
problems. Maybe it's the fabrics I use....or the laundry detergent. I use
Tide Free because of allergies. I recently bought a vintage quilt....hand
pieced, hand appliqued, and hand quilted and did some research on the
internet to see how to wash it. This particular woman did not recommend
using the soaps made especially for quilts...she said something about them
not have something that prevented the dirt from going back into the quilt
from the wash water and you had to rinse them many, many times. She
recommended using a laundry detergent without any additives such as
perfume,
bleach, etc....and Tide Free was one she mentioned. Just Lucky in WI.

Didn't we just have some conversation about colors running in a quilt?
Well, that must have jinxed me, because it just happened to me! This is
a
small table topper quilt that had not been washed since I made it. This
morning I washed it in cold water in the washer. Some of the deep red
ran
on the white squares. I did not have that special treatment stuff on
hand,
so I just put it back into the washer with two new color catch sheets,
some detergent, and some zout. It came out nice and clear again!!
Yippee!!

Yes, "Zout" is a laundry stain remover. It is in most
grocery stores. I am impressed with results I've had
removing difficult stains. NAYY!! It is made by Dial
Corporation. Maybe that is the same place that makes
Dial Bath soap, which I do NOT like! PAT

Those things work great, don't they - I'll never be without them. Glad
they took care of your table topper.

I dont' know what 'zout' is, though....a kind of spot remover?
