    4 Stars Catch the Rainbow 28/08/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It really does catch the colour

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can't use it for everything

    I’ve been using colour catcher from Dylon for quite a while now. The main reason for using it is I often only have a small load of light colours and whites compared to my giganormous load of darks (I wear more dark clothes than I do light for some reason. It probably stems from the fact that black is meant to be slimming). The point being – it always seems such a waste to put a load on when it’s never really a fully load so I combine all my clothes, darks, whites and colours, popping in a sheet of colour catcher every time I do a wash. What is Colour Catcher? Over time you may notice that the ... more

    5 Stars Stop getting those pink boxers and grey knickers 08/11/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stops those laundry accidents!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You have to remember to put them in the wash!

    Dylon Colour Catcher Sheets The first time I tried these I was given a sample from one of the many freebie sites I subscribe to. I have to admit they probably are not a product that I was looking for or would have thought I needed but having tried them I became hooked. These colour catcher sheets come in Colour catcher sheets come in a cardboard box and are available is three size packs including 12,24 or 40 sheets. They costs obviously vary a bit but the 24 pack from Tesco cost about £2 at this time on a special offer. Colour catcher is made by Dylon a company I know best for their little ... more

    4 Stars Dylon Colour Catcher - Keeping Your Whites White 27/06/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stops loose dye staining clothes during the wash. Easy to use. Does not add chemicals to the wash.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit pricey. I wouldn't trust it to work on mixed dark / white washes, but I've not tried it.

    As a full time mum I spend a lot of time washing. As I have mountains of the stuff, it is quite easy for me to sort out whites, darks and mixed colour loads. However, we now have quite a few dark items of clothes with white stripes or patterns. I have this lasting worry that my husband's shirts will come out of the wash with pink stripes. So having seen a TV ad for Dylon Colour Catcher, I thought I would give it a go. What is Colour Catcher? I bought a box of 20 Colour Catcher sheets for about £2.50 in Sainsbury's. Dylon claim that Colour Catcher "prevents colour runs and allows mixed washes." ... more

    5 Stars Colour catching miracle 04/04/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No colour runs in mixed washing loads.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Eighteen months ago my daughter started a new school and we purchased her new burgundy uniform. One of my friends warned me that she had washed the burgundy and white rugby shirt prior to her son starting school and it had run terribly turning the white collar as well as the rest of her wash load pink. She recommended that I use Dylon colour catcher when I washed mine to avoid the same misfortune. I’d heard of this before but never thought that it would be worth buying – I couldn’t see how it could work effectively, but not wanting to have to hand wash this rugby shirt at frequent intervals I ... more

    4 Stars To prevent all them colour runs.... 01/03/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages "The proof is on the sheet" as they say!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Packaging should be able to reseal!

    Ok, I admit it… I had never done the laundry until October of last year. One of the perks of living at home I guess! However, since I started university I had to “teach” myself! Along with my two types of washing powders, my mum had given me a box of these colour catchers as well. “These will come in handy” she assured me! Packaging The colour catcher box is mainly red, with the Dylon logo at the top. There is a distinctive rainbow on the front highlighting its colour catcher abilities. The box opens easily on the back via a perforated edge. It would be better if there was a clasp to close the ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent for doing the laundry in one load of the machine.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None.

    I do my laundry as I go along, as soon as I have enough to load the washing machine I tend to wash them so I do not have a build up of clothes etc and so to make my life a little easier but a couple of months ago I was not too well and my hubby had to load the machine but he took no notice of what instructions I had given him to do the laundry and he placed some whites with the colours and the coloured clothing ruined my whites and I was not too well chuffed as I had a nice white top and he ruined it lol, it was ok because I allowed him to buy me another top lol but he was only trying to help ... more

    5 Stars I love Colour Catchers - They work for me! 05/04/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Enables me to wash mixed loads of washing with no unwanted colour runs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages They are expensive unless you stock up when they are on offer

    I have been using Colour Catchers now for quite a while, a lady I worked with suggested them to me or conveniently dropped it in conversation about how good they were. (I think it may have something to do with the fact I was wearing a dark grey top which had a built in white shirt underneath, which had gone slightly grey)! I was quite sceptical in the beginning and didn't think they would be that amazing, especially for the price but I now wouldn't live without them.-- Packaging ---The Colour Catchers are packaged in a cardboard box, which has an eye catching design. The box is bright orange ... more

    4 Stars Colour Catcher 01/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Saves on energy bills

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None for me

    After my last electricity bill I decided we really needed to think about cutting down. My washing machine is usually on twice a day. I have tried to only wash every other day but we both have to dress smart for work and we were always running out of clothes. My mum suggested I give Colour Catchers a try. At least then I could do 1 load a day and still get everything washed. Colour Catcher are impregnated sheets that catch any stray dye from your clothes. The idea is that you are able to do a mixed colour wash. The box The box is bright red It has Colour Catcher written on the front and shows a ... more

    5 Stars Brilliant at catching runaway colours 12/03/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Effective, simple idea, cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I buy my Dylon Colour Catcher Sheets from Home Bargains where they cost only £2.25 for a box of 24 sheets. This is the cheapest I have found them and I always ensure I have a spare box of them underneath my kitchen cupboard, alongside the rest of my laundry products. I don’t use them every time I do a load, but if I am washing colours and I’m a little bit unsure if colours are going to run, then I will often use one. Last week I washed a whole load of colours and I’d put in a new top with them which was a deep plum in colour. Not really thinking about it, I washed the whole lot together, only ... more

    5 Stars Whites & Darks - Now You Can! 11/04/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Does what it claims to do

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Still can't fully rely on it

    Colour Catcher........... Having seen the adverts for these Colour Catcher I didn't really believe they would work as well as they claimed and mixing my colours and whites was something I would never have done as I like my whites to sparkle and not look grey. However after I received a free sample of these sheets through the post I decided I would give it a go. The Colour Catcher sheets are made by The Spotless Group and sell all over the world. I had my first two sheets as free samples but I have since bought 6 sheets for £1 from Poundland. This is pretty good value for money as each sheet ... more
