As far as we know, these colour catchers are not available in Canada. We used to be able to buy Zero Dye Magnet to put in the wash, but not now. So glad I bought lots when they were in the discount bin.

I tried the Shout on the Red/Black/White one that I made and they worked fine. I used 4 of them.

I just wash my reds separate, put on a second rinse and look ay the water. If it is red, I put more soap and do another full cycle. I only had to do that once, most of the time, the first wash with a second rinse is more than suffice. Never used a color catcher, another gimmick to get your money, never heard of those things ten years ago.

You may be able to find it at your LQS but best bet is to buy it on line.

Good information - thanks for sharing!
