    Yes, I've just started using them, and I love the job they do! I prewashed some new dark fabrics and used 3 of them. The color catchers came out a grayish/mauve and the fabrics came out GREAT.

    Yes!!! I throw in 3 with each new quilt I have finished. I also use them now and then with the rest of the laundry, especially if there's some new clothes or if I need to run a mixed load.

    Yes I use them when washing purples, they seem to bleed, no matter where I buy the fabric. We use them for regular laundry, if washing red or black clothes, works great for us.

    I have never reused them. Don't know if they will work as well a second time around.

    I used a whole box on one quilt which I had to wash 4 times before the red totally came out, I put in 6 of them into the washer at a time. Who would have thought that red thread would cause such a problem. I highly recommend the product.

    Out of curiosity I googled Shout Color Catchers. The directions say use one time and throw away.
    This is different from the one I purchased awhile back. It came one to a package and said it could be reused.
