Do you reuse color catchers?
Just trying to be frugal....I always throw in a color catcher when I wash a quilting project for the first time. Most of the time the color catcher comes out as clean as when it went in....is it possible to reuse the sheets if they are clean? Would hate to reuse one and find out it doesn't work! :}

Only in the same load. If one has some colour on it, I mark it with a pencil #1 and throw in a couple more and re-wash. I do let the colour catcher dry and then use them for a windex/dust cloth and then into the trash.

I haven't tried to reuse them. It didn't occur to me. I only use one at a time. I do use them in my general laundry when my family has new dark clothing, like jeans, briefs, shirts and they usually come out that grey-purpley color.
