DIY Colour Catchers


Silver Post Medal for All Time! 433 Posts

Colour catchers catch loose dyes in your wash water and prevent dyes from running or bleeding into each other. You can wash lights and darks together to save time and money by reducing the need for half size loads. Just cut up white fabric or felt pieces, soak in a solution of 1 cup of hot water and 1 Tbsp. of washing soda; mix well. Saturate white rags and let dry. Then add to your wash. Always test first.

For those of us in the U.S., what is washing soda? Is this the same as baking soda which we use for stains too?

Wendy, it is not the same but it is sold in the US, usually under the Arm and Hammer brand. Go to WalMart to the laundry section and it should be there.

It will be clearly labeled as washing soda.
