Colour Catcher 3 in 1 Whitener
The new Colour Catcher 3in1 Ultimate Action Pads protects against colour run accidents, revives whites and removes stubborn stains. Its new whitening and stain removal technology allows for the collection of dirt and stain particles deep within a number of fabrics including clothes, curtains and trainers.
The pads works effectively on blood and red wine stains as well as working proficiently on all washes at all temperatures. It's colour catching capabilities come as a result of a magnetic pull between the pad (positively charged) and loose dye particles (negatively charged) in the wash, effectively capturing loose colours in mixed washes to ensure that there are no colour runs onto other fabrics. This allows you to see brighter colours, sparkling whites and have confidence in every wash.
How to use?
It is also easy and stress free to use by following these simple instructions:
1. Place the pad in the washing drum before adding laundry.
2. Add laundry detergent as usual, then start wash cycle.
3. Remover the pad and clothes after wash.

I work in the kitchen and my white tops at the end of the day are always stained with various stains, in particular oil and some times tomato juice. I always use at least 2 product, the washing detergent and the fabric whitener /stain removal, plus always throw in the drum a color catcher sheet. I must admit that I was amazed that when I used the 3 in 1 Ultimate action pads from Dylon, not only the stains were completely removed but the whites were more vivid and bright. It really does what it promises to do and I love the fact that they're color catcher as well, which means that even if by mistake you might forget another piece of coloured garment, you don't run the risk of color transference to your whites. An absolute must for your laundry, which will definitely save you money, as you don't need to buy any more tons of sprays, gels or powder for stain removal. I am quite happy with the results and that was only with one wash, 60 °C, 1 hour washing cycle. I am attaching 2 pictures of my tops, one with the oil stains in the bottom, which are quite visible and a bit grey rather than white and the other one is after being washed. Really impressed with the results. I would definitely recommend it.
I must admit, when I received dylon colour catchers + whitening power I was very dubious as I've purchased from the brand before but found they were really poor and almost cost me a new washing machine, but after reading and checking the product before popping in with my white wash, which I'm very glad I did as this is one of the best whitening ( I'd say more optical brighter) products out there and not too badly priced when compared to other well know brands out there offinging the same type of product but 10 times more than it really ought to be priced up as! I can really say that these come out on top when personally comparing my usual product oxiaction, which I've found over the years as the price goes up standards of the quality of the product being sold goes down! Hopefully (take note, dylon) not to happen with the product I received to test, because I'd go out and purchase this item as soon as needed (box of 5 I have 2 left) popping just 1 in the wash that does both my kids school shirts for the week! And as you can imagine with teenagers their colours let alone anything white get mucky and grubby, especially around the cuffs and collars, and I must say, I was impressed that 1 sachet washed the weekly whites and they really were so much whiter than before they went in the machine, and even better value than the product I was using! I can definitely say I'm converted and these will be used from now on in my house! Great product!
I am beyond impressed. I’ve used this makes colour catcher before and was happy with it, but didn’t expect this really to be more than a colour catcher but it removed stains fantastically. Usually, in every wash I use detergent, softener, powered for killing bacteria and helping to remove stains, colour catcher and also if there are some hardcore stains then the strong spray on stain remover. So when using this, I only added detergent and softener. I did two washes- one with mostly white clothes and one with light clothes that had some whites. I have 2 dogs and a toddler so I had quite a lot of stains. This particular last wash had a coffee stain on light jeans and black and white top, bird poo on a jumper , chocolate and juice on quite a few kiddy clothes . It literally took every single stain out. Everything ! There were no colour runs, but I didn’t expect there to be any. The white clothes looked super white . Added bonus is that it’s quite eco friendly - natural fibres , FSC certified , packaging recyclable . Price reasonable unless you plant to use it on every wash. I will definitely buy it .
Working in a kitchen, I wear chef whites daily. These get washed after every use and at times are marked with splashes. As you no doubt are aware, white tops do not get on well with things like gravy and tomato based sauces! I usually make sure to add a whitening product along with my usual detergent on these occasions, so upon receiving this sample pack of to try, I followed the instructions and simply popped one in the bottom of the drum and chucked my 'whites' in on top. My jackets came out fresh and bright, there had been a few marks (lentil soup, curry sauce, Bolognese sauce) but all were gone when I removed from the wash. A small pen ink stain remained on the sleeve (after it had been previously put in the wash without pockets being checked!) but my normal wash process hadn't removed that either. Second test was a mix of brightly coloured items, including a brand new bright red top.... what could possibly go wrong!? All colours seemed as vibrant as before and there didn't appear to be any transfer or runs. I was a bit shocked at how much colour the catcher had actually caught! PROS: • recyclable cardboard box • easy to use premeasured sachets • catches lots of loose dye CONS: • bit wasteful as the single use sachet then has to be discarded • assuming this is the standard size package, 5 isn't very many. 8 - 10 , or even more would be more convenient
I was sceptical reading that it is reviving whites but after wash I was really surprised that the white items looked really white. This product will be definitely on my shopping list, especially that my boy starting school from September and obviously he is going to wear white shirts. Already his white polo shirt from the wash is whiter, and white towel is white again. That is a nice product, after wash I could see pouch changed a bit colour, meaning it did catch some colour leak as I did mixed wash - whites with colour (But the ones which I knew won't run excecively). Not sure about scent added by product as I always use wash conditioner, but for the white result, it doesn't reaĺy matter as long gets those whites white again. For the stains, there are still some left after nursery paints on the polo shirt of my boy, but not sure if that can be washed at all, ever. Overall I do recommend this product, you want your whites white again? Use those pads. Thumbs up.
Upon receiving this product, I instantly put it to the test with my daughters washing which mostly consists of white and light pink and pastel colours. She had been at nursery and as usual, came home with her white socks stained brown instead with sand and mud, as well as most of her clothes being near enough black. I threw one of these pads into the washing machine and then all of her washing that had accumulated over the past few days. I was amazed at the results when the cycle had ended and how bright bright and brand new her white socks and clothing all looked. Usually they are clean but not pure white, but with this, they were back to the original white colour and still had amazing softness. With some other whitening products I’ve previously used, they made my washing not feel so soft, but these colour catcher pads allowed my washing to be much brighter, whiter, still smell lovely and still feel extremely soft. Overall, I think they are very convenient for preventing colours leaking onto one another and for brightening any white clothes you have. The packaging represents the product well, but arrived a bit bashed and squashed, thankfully this didn’t affect the contents inside.
I'm very pleased with the results. I was a bit sceptical at first thst it had the power to do all it claimed in one little sachet however very impressed. I really liked that I could use it in a wash gor multiple reasons. Having children clothes are often grubby, stained and multi coloured and its hard to know which product to use in each wash. This meant I didn't have to pick. The fact its from dylon is also a plus as its a trusted household name for laundry care. Its so simple to use - literally just pop it in the drum song with clothes. I also love how it has taken into account the sustainability of its product which is definitely something I'm trying to consider and become more proactive about. Naturally made fibres and both pads and packaging are fully recyclable. Very pleased with the results and would definitely recommend to others and I would certainly purchase again!
Wow! I got used to my kids’ school white shirts to gradually turn into shades of grey and beige and this product proved to me that it does not have to be the case! All the whites I washed with the Colour Catcher 3 in 1 have definitely turned a shade or two whiter. Most stains have disappeared, those most persistent (pen marks) have definitely faded considerably. All clothes looked fresher, newer and just…better. There was none of any unpleasant chemical smells, the pouch has survived the washing (did not tear, just all the powder from inside was rinsed out as it should) and could be safely discarded into the general waste bin. No skin irritations either. Overall I am a convert and will certainly be buying again! Below photo of a shirt washed with the Colour Catcher (the whiter one!) next to another, not yet washed. The difference in shades says it all.
What a great new addition to my laundry cupboard the new 3 in 1 colour catcher, stain remover plus whitening power is. I wasn't sure what to expect and a bit sceptical about doing a mixed wash if I am honest, but needn't have worried. These Dylon pads were great and did exactly what they said they would. My mixed wash came out looking like new. The pad definitely worked on not only catching any loose colour from the washing but also removed a couple of stubborn stains (coffee and curry) and I personally thought that my whites looked brighter. I would definitely recommend as you will not only save on time and money on water and energy usage by doing a mixed wash therefore reducing the number of wash loads, but as the pads are free from microplastic and the packaging fully recyclable you will be helping the environment too.
Although there wasn’t much dirt particles or colour on the pad when I removed it; my laundry appeared much cleaner and whites were brighter. This product is convenient and doesn’t have an unpleasant or overpowering chemical type of smell. It was easy to read, understand and follow both the usage and storage instructions. I used it at 30 degrees temperature with various coloured garments and it removed most of the set-in stains and prevented colour transfer. This product gave me confidence and great results of washing mixed colours together within the same load, and has enabled me to reduce the number of times I’m using the washing machine each week. This product will help towards reducing my water and energy costs, alongside my carbon footprint on the environment.
