Pros

  • Effectively removes excess dye from water during laundry.
  • Convenient for washing mixed colors without separation.
  • No color bleeding on fabrics observed.
  • Can be reused several times before disposal, saving money over time.
  • Restores quilts to likew condition, useful for heavily soiled items.
  • Highly effective in absorbing color from darker fabrics during washing.
  • Essential for protecting lighter fabrics from discoloration.
  • Users report consistently good results, making it reliable for first washes.

Cons

  • The product has changed to a heavily perfumed version, causing sneezing and unsuitable for sensitive skin.
  • The strong scent is not appropriate for men's or children's clothing and may not appeal to everyone.
  • Fragrance is overwhelmingly strong and noticeable even outside the packaging.
  • Quality has significantly decreased, including sheets shredding easily during washes.
  • Availability in Canada is limited, requiring international purchase for some users.

Bottom Line

The Shout Color Catcher 24Count, 12 Pack remains a popular choice for effectively preventing color bleed in mixed laundry loads, offering notable savings and reuse benefits. However, the recent change to a heavily perfumed formula is a significant drawback for users sensitive to strong fragrances. Despite its effectiveness, if fragrance is a concern, you might want to consider the Carbona Color Grabber, which provides similar performance without the scent.
