Article-I recently saw a meme claiming that people under 40 no longer classify their clothes. guess what? I’m over 40 years old, and I don’t do laundry either!
When we lived in Europe, a friend let me in Shouting color catcher, I did not look back. When we had a small washing machine, I liked these, and I threw in a lot of things every day to keep it in top condition. When we live in a temporary shelter, I go to a laundromat, and these dye capture color catchers save me money by reducing the load. Now, well, I’m just used to it, and don’t plan to go back to the trouble of sorting white from colors.
You only need to put the unsorted clothes into the washing machine together with the colored trapping paper and detergent. (I use Breezeo detergent tablets.) The color capture sheet will absorb any excess dye, thereby preventing them from staining your lighter clothes. You can also see that they are working because you will see color residues on the used sheets… and no stains on the white T-shirts and socks.
If they also pass through the dryer, there is no problem, so you don’t have to worry about taking them out after the washing cycle.
A box of 72 sheets of Shout color capture paper sells for $9.94 Amazon. I have these now Subscribe and save the list, Which lowered the price a bit.
Obviously, I’m not the only one who uses this laundry technique and skips sorting; they have an Amazon rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars and a rating of over 20,000.
