Product Information
Full details
The Dylon Colour Catcher - 40 Pack is designed for anyone looking to simplify laundry day by preventing color transfer between garments. Its key benefit is allowing mixed washes, saving time and energy. A potential caveat is that it may not be 100% effective with extremely vibrant or new dark dyes on the first wash. This product works by attracting and trapping loose dyes in the wash water, preventing them from redepositing onto other clothes.

FAQs
How many sheets should I use per wash?
For a standard mixed load of colours, one sheet is usually sufficient. If you are washing a large load, or items with very intense colours or new dark dyes, consider using two sheets.
Can I reuse a Colour Catcher sheet?
No, once a sheet has been used, it is saturated with absorbed dyes and should be disposed of. It cannot be reused.
Can I use Colour Catchers with delicates?
Yes, they are safe to use with most machine-washable fabrics, including delicates. However, always check the garment's care label.
What happens if I forget to use a sheet and colours bleed?
Unfortunately, once colour has transferred to other garments, the Colour Catcher cannot reverse this. It is a preventative measure.
Are Colour Catchers effective on all types of dyes?
They are generally very effective against most common textile dyes. However, extremely vibrant or unstable dyes on new garments may require more than one sheet or separate washing for complete protection.
Can I use Colour Catchers for hand washing?
Colour Catchers are designed for machine washing. They are not recommended for hand washing as the water and agitation levels are different.
Troubleshooting
Colour transfer still occurred
Ensure you used a sufficient number of sheets for the load size and the colours of the garments. For heavily dyed or new items, consider using an extra sheet or washing them separately.
Sheet dissolved completely without capturing much colour
This can happen if the wash cycle is too long or too hot, or if the machine is significantly overloaded. Ensure you are using appropriate wash settings for your fabrics.
Sheet feels stiff or clogged
This indicates the sheet has absorbed a significant amount of dye. This is normal and shows the product is working effectively.
