LOL But you could also use a wooden spoon to agitate and keep your hands out of the hot water as much as possible. Lorchen you can still use the color catchers in the wash when you wash the finished quilt. Just a little bit of insurance.

Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	I would use gloves because that way I can tolerate hotter water. Thanks Margo and Michelle. I normally use 'colour catchers' (in the machine or hand wash), but I was given this bottle of Retayne and so I might as well use it.

I just reduce the amount so it's correct for my fabric yardage (sometimes it's just a teaspoon or so) and use a washbasin with very hot water. Agitate by hand, rinse thoroughly. HTH Thanks Michelle! Do you need to use gloves when you do this by hand??

I have a question that I'm sure somebody will be able to answer: I have a small bottle of Retayne. The instructions are for use with a washing machine. I'm wondering if that stuff would also be effective if used in a hand wash??
