Shout Color Catcher sheets are the best laundry inovation since fabric softner. My teens and husband will throw in an occasional load of wash, but would never think to separate colors, blacks, and whites (no matter how much I remind them). Not wanting to discourage them from helping with chores, I would bite my tongue, and cringe. These Color Catchers were just what we needed, but they sounded too good to be true. I gave them a try, and they actually work fabulously. If the color runs, it is captured by the sheet, and doesn't get on the other clothes. Now I smile when I see my family doing their own laundry.
