Product description

Colour Catcher products prevent colour runs in washing machine cycles and allows coloured and whites being washed together without incurring in unpleasant color run accidents. The sheet (Colour Catcher is sold in sheets) attracts the excess dyes released during the washing process by garments and absorbs them, before they have the ability to transfer onto other clothes. At the end of the wash the sheets change colour giving the proof of the dye absorption, while the garments maintain their original colour brightness. There are several other products under the Colour Catcher name, including an oxi-action stain remover and a sheet that restores and maintains clothes' whiteness.
