They're called Shout Color Catchers, and they work pretty well. I use them when washing a quilt I've made for the first time (I don't pre-wash the fabrics). So far I haven't had any color bleeding on the quilts - and the Color Catchers turn all sorts of pretty colors.

You don't need a specialty detergent for anything except sensitive skin...and all that is is fragrance and dye free.
There is a formula for everything and most are unnecessary. There are other ways to take care of your clothes.
Odor reducing: use vinegar or baking soda. You can also use Febreze type sprays, simply spray right into the dryer on top of a load of wet clothes.
Baby laundry: use fragrance and dye free, add bleach for stains and then rewash without bleach. Skip the fabric softener.
High efficiency/front loaders: use less detergent...will mention too that the fill line on allllll the lids is too high, you can use less for any machine.
Color safe: sort correctly and if the garment is new and bright, wash in cold salt water to set the color. Then the first few times you wash it, run it separately or with same color until the excess color is out, and then continue to wash in cold. Reds seem to be the worst.
Fabric softener added: use separate fabric softener, or use vinegar in the wash cycle.
Delicates: Use a gentler cycle, or wear rubber gloves while handwashing with regular detergent or even shampoo...you can even rinse lingerie or pantyhose with leftover bubble bath water, swish it around a little bit, wring it out and hang to dry while you finish your bathing routine.
More than you asked for, sorry. I HATE when marketing gets in the way of decisions I need to make for my household...a really personal pet peeve.

There is nothing that will prevent anything from turning pinkish it you wash a red garmet with light clothes. Soooooooooo, it is best to sort out the washer loads by color, if you have something red, wash it with a color like fabric, same for black. I wash ever-thing in cold water and they come out just as well as with warm or hot, sure don't have the shrinkage and the clothing maintains its color better. I am a maniac about my laundry.

I don't remember the name of the brand, but any brand with "Color guard" will prevent your white T-shirt become pink from your cute socks. You do want to wash your bright color clothes with COLD water, especially when you wash it first time. This helps a lot. Color sorting is helpful, too.

the 1st few weeks of a toddlers lifestyles their dermis would be tender. oftentimes once you have used one field of toddler detergent you could then wash their outfits in universal detergent or a tender detergent. there are a number of detergents to elect between at the instant, so in case you have a fave yet think of its too harsh look to work out whether it fairly is attainable in a tender or dye unfastened version. be confident to bathe each and every thing earlier the toddler is born.

you can make your cloth color fast just using vinegar. mix a solution of vinegar and water (two portion of vinegar to one portion of water). put in your cloth (same color) and soak for 1 hour. rinse off until the water is clear.
