New Fav Product

I have a new favorite product to share that I would have added to my Top 10 List a few weeks ago if I’d known about it then.

I love brightly colored baby clothes. Especially the summer ones that contrast white against deep blues, bright pinks and oranges.

But, since before Miss Olive was born – when I was doing pre-baby laundry counting the days to her arrival – the colors on some of her clothes run. It was so frustrating because the cutest little outfits she hadn’t even worn once yet were ruined with big splotches across them. Bright patterns would fade onto whites of the same garment.

Alas, my Miss Olive's colors bleed no more. I (somewhat skeptically) bought Shout Color Catcher sheets about a week ago in prep of washing the Ladybug’s warm-weather clothes – including a variety of stark white items with bright, multi-colored embroidery.

These things are great. All I had to do was load the washer with clothes and detergent like I normally would and throw in one or two of the Shout Color Catcher sheets.

I figured I had nothing to lose because if they didn’t work, the colors wouldn’t have bled any worse than they would have anyway.

Amazingly, these little buggers have become my new best friends. Again, they’re great. Not a single spot of color out of place; none of the Ladybug’s new spring and summer clothing ruined.

Admittedly, I have not been brave enough to put all her laundry in one load, nor do I think I ever will. I did my normal load of whites/super lights, typical darks, and a separate load for “wow, it really does have every color”/crazy colored items.

The save-my-laundry sheets were only about $3.50 at Target for a box of 24 – a price I will happily pay again to save Miss Olive’s non-tie-dyed clothes staying just that way.

This sassy dress will be among the next was load of clothes I trust will be saved thanks to these wonderful sheets.
