What's a color catcher?


"Color Catcher sheets are dye-trapping cloths that you throw in with a load
of laundry to absorb and trap the loose dyes that can stain your clothes.
The sheets allow you to mix more colors in a single laundry load while
helping to whiten your whites and keep other colors vivid.

"The sheets themselves measure just over 7 inches by just under 7 inches and
are a bit thicker than your average dryer sheet. They have a pleasant scent
as well. Out of the box they are white, but after you do a load of laundry
they soak up the dye so mine usually end up pink or a dingy blue-gray
(depending upon the colors of the clothes I washed)."
