Powdered Laundry Detergent Issue

I've been using them now for about 30 years, never had them discolour my clothes....
Maybe I'm not using them right. I just throw them in. I prefer liquid detergent but have been buying pods lately because they aren't as heavy to carry.

That's all I do, just pop them in, but I only use 1 pod for each wash that's plent, there's no need for more.... also I use one colour magnet sheet in every wash as well, so if there's any dye that runs from anything it doesn't affect the other clothes, which means I can pretty much get away with washing all my whites with my coloureds...

What's a color magnet sheet? I've never heard of it.
 

Are you in the USA ?

Here's what color magnet sheets look like in the US

They're small sheets of
biodegradeable fibers.. which are treated with polymers or other chemicals that attract and trap loose dye and dirt from the wash water. These sheets act like a magnet, absorbing loose color molecules before they can transfer to other garments, preventing color runs and helping to keep whites white and colors vibrant.
Each sheet is about the size of your hand


In the UK they're called Colour Magnet sheets...

you just add one or 2 to each colour wash, andany dye that may run from clothing gets trapped in the colour dye sheets and not on other clothing

I checked it out on Amazon and it says it's currently unavailable. I'll have to keep my eyes out for it. Thanks.
 
Well, this thread has convinced me to try the sheets. I like the no plastic and the convience of these.
