Laundry in our home is done by my husband, and quite often he is so tired from a busy work week that he can only do one load of laundry. Unfortunately, this means that the whites sit around waiting to be washed for over a week, which isn’t good if they have soils and stains settling in.
Shout created a new product, Shout Color Catcher with Oxi, to solve this and other problems. Shout Color Catcher helps make laundry time easier by letting you mix your loads (yes, I mean mixing colors and whites!) so instead of doing two half loads of laundry and wasting time and money, you can combine it all into one load. Shout Color Catcher sheets absorb and trap loose dyes in your wash water, protecting clothes against color bleeds and helping preserve original colors. The sheets change color as they absorb those loose dyes floating around, and are even effective in warm loads of laundry. The benefits? No more money wasted on half loads and no more time wasted sorting your laundry, and the space taken by multiple laundry storage bins at home? No longer needed, because you can toss it all together now.
To be honest, we first tried it out with clothes we don’t love as much, because if it didn’t work that is an expensive problem. With several mixed loads of laundry (excluding red items), the clothes came back to us clean, and the whites weren’t dingy, but instead surprisingly bright. It may be the Oxi, but we were surprised by how clean everything was, and my husband is happy to have an easier laundry time, so he can come home and relax with our son at the end of a busy work week.
I have a few red items of clothing that I’m still tentative about trying (I don’t want all my white clothes to be pink) but the results of our laundry experiment with Shout Color Catcher Laundry Sheets is positive enough that I’m going to try a test run this weekend. If this works out, I’d say the chore of laundry has officially been revolutionized and there may never be an “Oops!” moment in households anywhere again. Shout Color Fast laundry sheets are safe for all color fast clothes and

I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Shout and received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
I only wash with cold water
Do laundry on a regular basis instead of letting it build up.
I add a cup of white vinegar to each load to set the colors. Thanks so much for the fantastic giveaway!

I you put it in with the colors every time it will stop the “OH NO” when you open the washer!
I could wash more often because would not have to wait for the right sorting!
I started making my own laundry detergent…it cost about $9 and has lasted me 8 months for a family of 4 🙂
this would save time because my family is always on the go

I have no tip… however, I have two super messy children, and I need all the help I can get! 🙂
I try to keep laundry sorted before it’s time to do it. That way, in case anything is wet, colors won’t bleed together while they’re waiting to be washed, but also, and more importantly, I can see what kind of load I need to do next. It saves me a step, which is always a good thing!
Thanks!

Laundry Tip: Use denture cleaner on a stain by mixing it with water.
This would be great for when my boyfriend does the laundry. I wouldn’t have to worry about him ruining the clothes!
This would cut down the amount of loads I do a week! I would love to wash all my colors together!
When dating my future husband , we had to stop at a laudramat so that he could do a load of wash. Yep everything in 1 load. Why ? It would cost more to sort and separate. And i still married him. Go figure. He doesn’t have one shade of color clothing anymore. He certainly could have used the new Shout product.
I pre sort everything as it gets dirtied, and I wash everything in cold water

My laundry disaster was when the gadget that tells it when to stop filling with water broke and flooded the basement!
I have to use public laundry facilities, so if I can’t wash it in hot water, I handwash. Thanks for the giveaway.
My mom always told me to seperate my darks from my whites but with this product that tip wouldn’t apply and I could wash everything in one load and save water and money.
This product would be great to use since we usually put colors and whites in together. One time, my partner put his new scrubs in with white t-shirts and the teal color bled all over them! Hopefully this would prevent that from happening again.

Best Laundry Tips…Turning Things Inside Out. and Also Not Always Drying it in the Dryer.
and Fabric Softener is your friend
I saw the Shout with Oxy sheets at the store and wondered about them – I love the Shout Sheets and have used them for years!!
no more sorting and trying to figure out what whites and red look like together

Its pretty amazing you can wash colors and whites together.
This would be a great thing to have in our home as I try to teach my son with special needs, how to do laundry. We want him to have more independence, but it’s sure been hard on his laundry!
I have recently seen this on a TN commercial. I think it is a great idea. It would really cut down on those laundry day accidents. Or accidents anyday your husband is doing the laundry!
A laundry disaster was when I didn’t see my husband’s diesel soaked clothes on the bottom of the pile and washed it with our little guys clothes. Everything ended up smelling like the diesel fuel. Gross.
Just the other day, my husband put my wool sweater in the dryer. It now fits my right arm only. lol
This would make my life easier by letting me mix colors
i remember a huge laundry disaster… somehow my daughter had crayons in her pockets and they went through the wash and into the dryer…. i never found the actual crayons but i found the red and green stains all over our JEANS.. talk about an expensive accident… my son’s baseball pants were in that load too… thanks clallen at ntin dot net
My son’s basketball jersey is red and I hate having to do a seperate load twice a week. This would help me out alot! Thank you!
This would be great because I could save time rather then spending it sorting the wash I could do less loads.

This product would make my life easier because I have so much dark denim that tends to bleed in the wash, this would make my life so much easier!
I use this all the time, I’m a quilter and when I pre-wash my fabric for each quilt, I always use
Shout Color Catcher to make sure none of the fabric runs. I love the product.
This would make life easier so I didnt have to do so many seperate load. I always have never ending laundry!
I should shout Color catcher. It reduces so much laundry time having to sort through everyone’s clothes before it goes into the washer! My only other type would be to use Purex Crystals lol I love those things!!
I am disabled. Instead of checking the machine before I threw in a load of whites. I opted to not stand. I guess I had thrown in a red tshirt because everything came out pink.
I put my colors and white in separate baskets for easy laundry.
my problem is grease i think this would help me
It always happens when a dark clothing gets in with my light clothing, such as my light pink sweatshirt no has a blue tint to it, cause it got put in with the jeans, not happy. This would be so great to try and keep my clothes the right color!

This product would help so I wouldnt have to worry if I accidentally mixed reds and whites.
Love to experiment with laundry products.
This would make my life easier because I don’t like to sort items. So I tend to have some oops moments.
6 small children…plus my husband and myself, use cloth diapers too….I do 6 or more loads of laundry every.single.day! Hows that for a laundry story!! scary huh???
