Actually changed brands from Tide to Charile's SoapAug 26, 2008
By R. Stemwell
Personally I am not a very GREEN person nor do I live a GREEN lifestyle. I am a forty one year old family man that likes trucks, the outdoors, and attacking my BBQ on the weekends. Sorry, but I have to have a great steak to grill on the weekend. What can I tell you... I do not fit the bill as a eco friendly anything. I purchased Charlie's Soap because I bought silk sheets for my wedding anniversary. The manufacture recommended Charlie's Soap as really the only soap they recommend you should use with the sheets. So I gave it shot. I was actually thinking about how I was going to have to purchase this special soap just to wash the sheets. I have to say I am a believer in this soap. It has done everything that the manufacture said it would. My family has actually switch brands and purchased the powder 5 pound bucket of the stuff. So I guess you get my Wife's approval on Charlie's Soap also. Because everybody knows the household uses the soap that the Wife likes...and that is that. This soap does a great job on my dirty greasy work around the house clothes.... let's just say one of my hobbies is restoring an old 1977 Chevy Blazer. Sometimes my arms get so covered in grease that they are jet black. So my clothes get pretty dirty also. I was totally amazed on how clean my clothes came out of the wash. Never got that clean with one wash of TIDE. As for the anything in the wash actually coming out softer than when my Wife used Tide and Downey Fabric softener. I have to say we just use Charlie's Soap now and no fabric softener. ALL FROM ONE TABLE SPOON OF DETERGENT!!! Again I really do not care if this soap is better for the environment. I just care if it works. You can scorn me all you want, but I am tired of trying things that are friendly to the environment and not actually working all that well. I will give a eco friendly product a try for time to time if just simply out of curiosity. You know the deal with eco friendly stuff.. how great it will clean and how safe it is. Most of the time the product ends up in the trash as a waste of my money. I do not want to be cleaning something 2-3 times to get the same effect as using my regular product. This is not the case with Charlie's Soap. Also we have cut our laundry soap cost by over 50% and are saving even more by not buying additives such as fabric or water softeners. Now that's something I can really care about. Now my Sister is all about saving the planet and going green. I have actually turned her onto this soap. She loves it too. At least it's worth a try to get a small size of Charlie's Soap and see if it works for you. Note that you might have to wash your clothes two times to get all your old TIDE type soap put of your clothes. Once the old soap is out, then your clothes will start feeling softer. I figured out my price savings based on the price of a 5 pound bucket of Charile's soap that does 1280 loads compared to what I would have to pay with TIDE laundry soap (purchased at Walmart) to get the same amount of loads. I did not even add in the costs of fabric softener or Calgon water softener additives. The price savings for me using Charlie's soap over Tide was just under $140. Add in the cost of the additives and I would safety guess my family is saving at least $200. Another thing is that we have a two year old and a new born (two week old). We no longer have to purchase baby laundry soap as Charlie's soap fits that bill too!!!! If you are not sure if you'll like it. Do what I did and start out with a small liquid bottle of Charlie's Soap. If you do not like it, then at least you are not out anything major. Though it may just convert you like it has me. Remember to give the soap a chance... it will have to wash out all your old TIDE style soap for your clothes to feel softer without fabric softener.... though your clothes will be cleaner for the start. Another side point.. Charlie's Soap works so well that even all the old TIDE soap residue that was on the viewing window on our washer was cleaned away. Another thing... I leave very few product reviews on Amazon. I only do it if I really hate a product.... or if I really, really like it. That being said... I really, really like Charile's Soap.

Gotta blame Mom!Aug 21, 2008
By K. McCune
My mother gave me some of hers to try and I loved it so much, I've been purchasing my own for two years now. There really isn't any better detergent out there. It's gentle on the environment, free of fragrance and harsh chemicals, and really gets my clothes clean. I tried Tide Free and All Free and Clear, and neither of those left my clothes my clothes really clean. Rather than needing scented laundry detergent so my clothes smell "clean", I use this and there is a complete lack of smell; not clean or dirty, nothing--like it should be. Oh, and it's very gentle on my clothes. Tide was tearing my clothes up before. I will never use anything else.
Oh, and they really are a small company. My Mom buys it locally in Mayodan, NC.

It works, it works, it really works!Dec 26, 2009
By SillySally
This laundry soap really works! I have sensitive skin so I try to stay away from harsh detergents. I also try to purchase products with less environmental impact. Some of our clothes had "oil" spots from food that had been there for several washings. The first time I washed them with this laundry soap, they came out! This is wonderful for kids clothing because they are always getting so dirty. Check out the history of the company. I did some reading and I found it refreshing that the product was developed and currently sold by a family. It's nice to help small businesses succeed; especially when they are making such a high-quality product. I loved this product so much I shared it with my students and we read about the history of the company in an Entrepreneurship Class. Of course, the high school students think I'm a bit crazy when I do stuff like this, but it's great to show them how you can turn an idea into a successful business.

Great for cloth diapers! Gets them smelling clean every time. I still have to sun occasionally, but does a great job overall.

Great product! Love the other 2 Charlie's products, too!May 03, 2010
By a viewer
I liked the Charlie's laundry powder so well that I decided to try their other two products, too--the all-purpose cleaner and the laundry liquid. I started using Charlie's laundry powder after reading many favorable reviews about it, first in my old top loader and then in my new HE front loader. The laundry liquid is just as good. All three products are excellent and actually do what they claim to do! I would recommend all three to anyone. They are non-toxic, coconut-based detergents that are biodegradeable and made by a small family-owned company here in the US. They have no additives and do not leave any residues in clothes or in the washer. Buildup of residues can be the cause of odor problems in HE front loaders.
I have used about half of the bottle of laundry liquid for entire loads, and have also used it a few times as a stain pre-treater. It works very well, and so far I can't tell any difference in results between it and the Charlie's laundry powder, which I have used for several months. Both of these laundry detergents will pull old suds and other residues from your clothes first, so it takes several washes of each item before you get a true picture of what they can do. They both dissolve easily, rinse well, and leave clothes soft and very clean once all the old residues are gone. Fabric softeners are not recommended or needed, but stain treatments and bleach are OK to use with them if desired. I usually use only the Charlie's with excellent results. I don't ever intend to go back to my old detergents! Charlie's leaves no scent and the clothes just smell very clean. It's amazing how much softer towels and jeans are after several washes with this detergent, although they took more washes to get rid of the old suds than lighter items did. Charlie's is recommended for cloth diapers, baby clothes, and for sensitive skin. As is also true of regular detergents, it is not a disinfectant. It works great in regular machines as well as in HE washers.
I could use the laundry liquid from now on and be happy, but I like the Charlie's laundry powder even better, only because it is so compact, easier and less messy to measure, and cheaper to use. One bag of the powder will do 80 loads, but the 16.9 oz. bottle of liquid will only do about 16 loads for approximately the same cost. I'm rating it 5 stars because it works so well and has so many desirable qualities. Use one tablespoon scoop of the powder, or two tablespoons (1 fl. oz.) of the liquid for most loads. An advantage of the liquid is that it can double as a stain pre-treater. It is also offered in a medium-sized container, a gallon which does 128 loads. The powder only comes in an 80-load size cloth bag or recyclable jar, and a huge 5-gallon bucket size which does over a thousand loads. Both are excellent products, really just personal preference for a powder or a liquid. The Charlie's all-purpose cleaner is also a good pre-treater as well as for general cleaning.
You can find the ingredients for all three products and more technical info than you probably need on the [...] site. There is also detailed info for using it in hard water, on cloth diapers, for allergies, etc. Their customer service is great, and if you email a question or comment you'll get a quick response. I am hooked on these products.
