Customer Reviews of Charlie's Soap Powder - 2.64 lb (80 Loads)
Customer Review: The only detergent I use
Summary: 5 Stars
I also started using this detergent for baby clothes and cloth diaper but began using it for all my laundry because of skin sensitivities I have to the residues left by other detergents. Laundry smells great without fake cover up fragrances even when my son has accidents, clothes are wonderfully soft without fabric softeners, and it truly is residue free (I handled some laundry today washed in regular detergent and there was a noticeable film on my hands that left them dry and irritated). My mother also plans to switch to Charlie's Soap after seeing the results on my clothing, and we both plan to give the All Purpose Cleaner a trial run in an eco-friendly maid service we run.
I will say that for cloth diapers, I always add a few scoops of baking soda and usually use 2 scoops of Charlie's Soap for extra stain lifting and deodorizing as Charlie's Soap alone does not always completely clean heavily soiled laundry in my experience. I still need to strip my diapers once or twice a month in a prewash of hot water, baking soda, and vinegar to make sure they don't start getting that used diaper smell. I think I would have to do that no matter what soap I used, and I would need many more laundering supplements to achieve the results I get on cloth diapers using only 1-2 tablespoons of Charlie's Soap and baking soda. Since a 2 lb. box of baking soda is $1 at WalMart, it's still a great value and it feels good to know that I'm not using products that harm the earth.
Customer Review: Washes clothes clean, plus save me money on Oxi clean and clothes softner
Summary: 5 Stars
I was tempted by so many good reviews about this product and bought a bag. So far, I am loving it! As one review says, it actually does what it claims. My clothes come out clean and smelling fresh. I have a whirlpool front loader that uses HE detergent. One tablespoon of this soap washes my clothes well without any residue. The extra bonus of this soap is that I stopped using Oxi Clean after I notice that without it my whites come out still white. I had an ultimate test last night when I had some serious blood stain on clothes and I again skipped Oxi Clean just to test this soap. To my delight, my clothes were completely cleaned. One note to this: I do use auto soak function on my washing machine all the time. Still I am amazed at the cleaning power of this soap because I have tried every brand name detergent over the years and I haven't had such good luck before. Another super nice feature of this soap is that I actually have softer clothes after drying my clothes in the dryer. I never liked the perfume used in clothes softner so I don't have a habit of using any. I was very surprised but happy to find that all my clothes now are softer when they come out of my dryer. Especially my jeans and kids' uniforms, which used to be more stiff, are obviously softer to the touch. My kids don't complain about their Dickies uniform pants being so stiff any more. Finally, I am just relieved to know that I am using an environmentally friendly detergent that washes really well.Customer Review: I LOVE this FRAGRANCE FREE laundry detergent!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Charlie's Soap for over two years. I was looking for a Green laundry detergent that was fragrance free because my sister gets severe migraines from strong fragrances, so I wanted my clothing to be completely free of fragrance.
One tablespoon of this laundry detergent gets a large load my laundry beautifully clean. My laundry smells so fresh -- no fragrance to cover up odors because there are no odors left when I clean my laundry in Charlee's Soap.
I love how this laundry detergent works and that I can use it for my regular wash and also for my delicates. I use it for silk, cotton, polyester, and blends. It works great and leaves no residue.
I use Charlie's Soap along with 20 Mule Team Borax for my white laundry, and the combination works as good as if not better than when I use bleach. (By the way, you can safely use Charlee's Soap and bleach together on your white laundry items, if you wish).
Charlie's Soap is made by a family owned company. I like supporting that kind of company instead of the big-box stores.
I can't say enough good things about Charlie's Soap and the people who make it. Thanks!!!
P.S. I have noticed that there is a lot less lint on my dryer's lint filter since I started using Charlie's Soap. I think this laundry detergent is much more gentle on my laundry than other detergents that I have used.
Customer Review: On my third bag...Loving it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased Charlie's Soap Powder because I have two grandbabies on the way and thought I'd wash our baby blankets and such with Charlie's. I also have two little guys with sensitive skin of my own who I thought may benefit from this soap.
After receiving the bag I did as instructed and ran a load to clean the washer. After doing this I did not want to ruin that cleaning by using my old detergent, so I've used Charlie's exclusively for about 40 loads.
I did have to purchase some stain remover spray to tackle tough stains (which were left over by my old detergent) such as grass and dirty knees in my little ones jeans (All of these stains have finally been removed!). I must say, Charlie's soap powder works just as well as (or better than) Tide. The scent (of clean) is actually more pleasant than that of other "main stream" flowery scented detergents.
My clothes seem "puffier" and softer. Colors are actually quite vivid now. I actually gave the old detergent away, I'm so happy with the Charlie's that I don't think I'll ever go back the old detergent!
I highly recommend this product for all your washing!
Addition: I am now on my third bag. I actually bought a box of tide which was ridiculously cheap one day and regretted it! I've decided to never use another product for laundry but Charlie's.
Customer Review: Absolutely Fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm slowly moving into green territory with a new Danby twin tub washer that I'm line drying clothing with (love tailoring my wash cycles and the spinner helps dry the clothes a lot faster). After the glowing reviews on Charlie's Soap Powder I had to give it a try and am now a convert. This is an awesome product! I can use it in cold water and it even got some old stains out. I have also used Method Peony Blossom laundry detergent which is a nice product and smells lovely but Charlie's gets the clothes cleaner, hands down. I'm not feeling any residue and my laundry still smells great as is. It's clean and soft. That just blew me away.
One small thing I've noticed. Now that I'm wearing clothes that aren't saturated in scent I feel that I've become more sensitive, if that makes any sense. Not that I was wearing a dryer sheet like a Monty Python head-hanky, but shopping through the laundry aisle usually left me with a clogged nose and a headache. They smell even stronger to me now. Amazing what we get used to.
I'm buying the bucket of soap powder next for my old washer/dryer unit upstairs. Now my over-sized items will be just as fresh and I won't miss throwing out all those big, plastic landfill cloggers. A product that's eco-efficient, concentrated to a spoonful a load and saves me money. What's not to like?
Cheers!
