Charlie’s Soap Laundry Liquid (160 Loads, 4 Pack) Natural Deep Cleaning Hypoallergenic Laundry Detergent – Biodegradable Eco Friendly Sustainable Laundry Liquid

The editor of a major women's magazine recently touted the powder version of this product; mostly she liked being able to order online and have it delivered to her house. Because of sensitive skin, I have used liquid detergents for years, even making my own low-suds recipe for awhile but gave that up when I discovered a major eco-friendly brand that was low-sudsing and didn't irritate my skin. After reading about this product, I went to the Charlie's Soap website and tracked the 32-oz liquid container (for $10) to a local store. It was a bit pricey for the size, but since it is just my husband and me (three adult sons are in and out very irregularly), I decided to give it a try. The first thing I liked about the bottle was the built-in measurer with markings in both ounce and milliliter. Squeeze the bottle and the soap goes up the tube on the side of the bottle into the measurer and you pour it directly into your washer's soap dispenser, then the cap screws back on. No separate, messy lid or spillage to deal with. There is a second cap to unscrew, with a regular large opening, because this handy container is refillable from the gallon jug. The packaging says to run a couple loads with rags to clean the old detergent out of the washer; I didn't do that so my first load was bit sudsy, so I ran the load several times to get out any old suds. I couldn't believe how naturally soft my clothes were (I haven't used fabric softener in years since we have softened water). I also like that there is no added fragrance, and the soap doesn't have any particular natural fragrance. The ingredients listed are washing soda, coconut oil and other natural cleaners. Also, my HE washer is very clean now and doesn't have that stale, mildewed smell (I always leave the door open when not in use). Charlie's Soap is made for HE washers, and the directions say to use no more than one ounce per load, even a large load. I do that, and even with softened water the soap generates practically no suds. If there are suds, it's because I'm washing clothes or other items that have old detergent in them. I cannot say enough good things about Charlie's Soap, and considering that I paid $10 for the 32-oz container, this four-gallon multipack is quite a bargain. I also signed up for the six-month autosubscribe (the maximum time, which I will adjust if necessary) so there was another small discount for that. Yes, it does seem a bit weird to order laundry soap online, but considering the savings and that it is delivered to my door (in a box that my cats love), I got over the weirdness pretty quickly.

been a few months since my last purchase I'm not counting I may be getting 800 loads definitely cleans great!

Charlie's Soap is the best. We've used it for over 15 years it's hypoallergenic and we've used it for our kids from infants on up and never had any skin reactions. It's less expensive as you use a small amount for each load and there's no need for fabric softeners as clothes come out soft. I've converted half a dozen females in our family to using this laundry detergent. Every one has remarked what a difference it's made in their clothes.

This is really great laundry soap. I'd discovered that adding vinegar in a Downy ball would allow me to quit using fabric softener a long time ago - but with this soap, you don't even need the vinegar. My clothing washes so clean, even some of the old stains are beginning to come out. It's not going to take out hard-set grease stains, but within reason you can anticipate a clean load of laundry and fabric that remains soft.One weird thing that I initially thought I was imagining is this - my dryer lint catcher is seldom even 1/3 of the way covered since I've been using this. If anybody has a logical explanation for this, I'd love to understand it. The only thing I can think is that every fiber of the laundry has released all the chemicals, and no longer attracts fluff? I dunno - I'm guessing. All I really know is, my clothes feel much better.I'm glad I found the gallon size. I really don't want to be without this soap ever.UPDATE: I purchased this item on July 23, 2016. Today is February 16, 2017. I have enough left in my bottle to do two loads, which is all I need to hold me till the next shipment comes in. I do an average of 1.5 loads a week. Extremely satisfied with value and quality.

I love this soap. It is kind of spendy, but my husband has allergies and he never has any problems with this laundry soap. I don't like perfumy smelling soap and this soap has none of that. I buy it in the gallon container and have a pump for it. Another plus, it does not leave residue on the washer or in our clothes.No negatives except it is kind of expensive, but what isn't right now.

I originally bought this before I had my daughter who is now about to be 3 years old so I’ve been using this laundry soap for quite a while. Trying to make my home as “non toxic” as possible to bring a new born baby right down to what we put on our skin and on our clothing that would touch her clothes and skin too, this detergent was perfect. Had no fragrances or other icky stuff that most name brand detergents hand and the true test of it all was that it actually cleaned our clothes. Did the trick for us! Now I will say that your whites will still need a little boost like peroxide or baking soda because my husband was not a fan of his dingy looking white tees haha. Once I became aware, I made sure to pre treat the problem areas before every wash. My mother is old school so she didn’t trust it, she legit went out to pick up a personal size of Tide detergent to wash her clothes separately when she visited. As for us we felt safe using it for our baby girl. It was recommended on a blog for non toxic items, but as I dived deeper into this non toxic world I wanted to know what was actually I there detergent and unfortunately it’s a secret. That’s a con for me and made me a little leery so I started searching for a new detergent that I know what it’s made of. I can’t honestly say that it’s non toxic anymore because I don’t know what it’s composed of lol, but I will say that we never had an rashes, irritation that usually occurs on my neck from basic detergents.
