Charlie's Soap Review and Giveaway





Finding a safe, effective detergent for yourself and your family is not an easy task. I personally have several allergies to laundry soap so I have to be very careful. Of course, my 2nd child had worse allergies than I ever did. We used a well known baby detergent on everything to reduce the amount of reactions that he had. When I had my 3rd child, this particular detergent, being so pricy, did not do all that I needed it to do. In addition, stains are horrible in my house of 3 children and a sloppy husband : ) but using a stain fighting spray is out of the question due to my son allergies.



This sparked my mission to find a safe, earth friendly detergent that is safe on our clothes and our skin and nice to my pocketbook. When I was offered the chance to review Charlie's Soap, I was very excited.


I received the Laudry Powder. This bag is 2.64 lbs of product. It will do at least 80 loads of laundry! Each load only requires 1 tablespoon of powder per load. Charlie's Soap will remove the reside that other detergents has left not only on your clothes but also in your washing machine. The bag retails for $15.49 making each load of laundry less than .20 a load


I also received the Charlie's Soap Liquid Detergent. This bottle contains 17oz and will do 16 loads of laundry. Other than it is liquid, this product does the same for your family and your clothes as the powder. At $13.22 per bottle, each load equals about .83 a load. The liquid is a bit more pricey.




Charlie's Soap All Purpose Cleaner has become a saving grace in my home. I am very concerned with keeping a clean home to reduce allergins that are present. However, I am unable to clean with smelly chemicals due to my son's allergies. Charlie's Soap All Purpose Cleaner was initally made to clean industry machines and is now available for your home use. This cleaner will do everything from eliminate the soap scum on your tub to pretreat your stains to clean grease off your hands ------>>Check out this chart:





After reviewing all these products, I have to say that there is a new detergent in my home. Being a cloth diapering mama, I like that this product will gently clean my diapers just as well as it will clean my husbands greasy shirts. I have noticed that set in stains on my clothing are fading with continued washes and my whites come out bright with no bleach being used. Also, my clothes come out and only smell clean. No perfumes or flowers...just clean.


Bet you want some, huh?
Head on over to Charlie's Soap and figure out what products would be a perfect fit in your home.
Bet you would rather win some, huh?
Sherry at Charlie's Soap has offered 1 of my lucky readers the chance to win an 80 load bag of laundry powder, a 17 oz. sprayer of all purpose cleaner and a reuseable tote!

  51. I follow and I really want to try this detergent. I have tried almost all the detergents out there for cloth diapers and none of them get rid of the poopy stains they smell sweet but the stains remain. I would love to try the All-Purpose Cleaner - 17 oz Sprayer and see if it would remove the stains (even the sun didn't do the trick!) Now that's some powerful pooh!
