    I use the 'colour catcher' sheets when washing dark stuff & a few years ago I had a problem with my washing machine because they kept getting sucked into the machine & blocked it.
    The engineer who repaired it advised me to put the colour catcher into one of the little wash bags & I haven't lost one since.

    i don't know if this has been mentioned previously, but i make a bouquet garni out of mine rather than faffing around with bits of string and scissors. i then chuck this into the casserole/stock. the other day, asked OH to take the bean poles down the lotti and when i went down later, found the ends of them secured in a mesh bag as a way to secure them (aww, i thought - how sweet and resourceful he is!)

    We use them at work to collect the money people pay for their cups of teas and stuff. They're better than bank bags. :)
