She explained in her blog post (click through for the full post) that she'd created a quilt which had a red sheet as a backing.īecause of the quilting technique she was using she didn't prewash the red sheet, and when she washed it once the quilt was completed it bled onto the lighter fabric on the front, causing pinkness especially around the stitching. That is exactly what happened to Lisa Clarke who blogs at Polka Dot Cottage. However, it can also be used to help fix the problem if you've accidentally had some bleed through of one dye onto another fabric. This product is normally used to grab dye when it bleeds into the laundry wash water, so it doesn't redeposit back onto the fabric being washed. You can share your reviews and experiences here. I'd love to hear from others who've used this or any other dye grabber product, telling me how they've worked for you, and whether you think it's worth it to pay for the convenience of not having to sort anymore. The question I have to ask myself is even if they do work to keep clothes from getting dingy, if they're worth the cost? It is another thing to add to each wash load, and they're only usable once, so it's an ongoing expense if you choose not to sort your laundry.Ĭertainly it would be more frugal just to sort my clothes, and therefore, at least as of this time, based on my research and my cheap tendencies I haven't bought anymore of this product but have just gone back to sorting each load. I would have to wash the clothes over and over like this, using lots of these sheets, to see if over time they got dingy or not. The video from Consumer Reports (scroll down a bit to see the video) would suggest that the cloth didn't grab all the dye, but just some of it. The question I can't answer from this one use is whether the product caught all the dye, or just a portion of it.

It does make me realize I better always sort if I don't use one of these dye grabber products, otherwise I could see how everything could get dingy really fast. I examined the clothes after they got out of the dryer, and I didn't see any major bleeds on anything, but of course I had washed all of these clothes multiple times before so I wasn't expecting anything major. Here's a picture below of what it looked like after the load was complete: Wow, it really did pick up a lot of dye from the look of it. I washed everything like normal, and when I was done I fished out the used sheet. I admit it was quite freeing to just dump everything in! Here's a picture of the load of laundry I used it on.

I got a free sheet from the company by requesting it from their Facebook page when they were running a promotion. Normally, I like to sort my clothes into like colors to keep things from getting to dingy, but it is a big pain to sort everything so I'm always willing to try something that will make my laundry routine easier.
