So There!

I must engage in a bit of domes­tic “I told you so”-ing here.

For the past few years, I’ve been fond of the var­i­ous laun­dry sheets or cloths that are sup­posed to catch dye in the wash. The idea is that if the sheet/cloth catch­es any dye that comes out of the cloth­ing, it won’t get on the oth­er clothes.

The vari­ety that’s here at the moment is the Shout Col­or Catch­er.

No, I don’t know how they work. I know that they do because while we don’t sort laun­dry the way I was taught to, we no longer have any prob­lems with pink­ish whites and the like.

sam­bear has been quite dubi­ous as to the effi­ca­cy of the sheets. I’m fair­ly cer­tain that he has sim­ply been humor­ing me about them.

But now I have proof! You see, this:

was white when it went into the load of col­ored clothes I washed this afternoon.

One of the items in the wash was a bright tie-dyed shirt that curiousmay9 must not have washed many times before. It is pre­dom­i­nant­ly hot pink, with some pur­ple and blue.

The shirt is fine. So is the rest of the wash, includ­ing the whites.

I’m vin­di­cat­ed!
