I Love Charlie's Soap

So, recently the wonderful people at Charlie's Soap sent me their powder laundry detergent, liquid laundry detergent and all purpose cleaner for review. Now the first thing I need to do is make a confession - I did not really think much of the fact that they said I should run a pre-load before using their product. I really did not think it would make much of a difference. But I figured it was their product and they wanted my review so I was going to do what they asked.

The instructions say to run a large load with two scoops (twice the normal amount) and a few rags or something. This is essentially to clean the old detergent out of your washer. Well, I have to say that my rags have never looked so nice. I used the old dish towels that have not been nice looking in months. And ya know what? They look amazing!! I was shocked.

I was really thrilled to give Charlie's Soap a try because it is on the list of detergents that is recommended by diapering experts for cloth diaper washing. So, I threw my diapers in. Truthfully, that was a leap for me because I have a routine, a detergent I like and I hate to make changes to something I already like. But I am so glad that I did. This stuff was amazing and it cleaned stuff that I normally have to sun out. I only had one diaper that had to go out in the sun. One!! As opposed to the normal two or three. I am ecstatic!!!

Lastly, I ran a load of clothes. As soon as Hubby put on one of the shirts I had washed he said he knew that it had been washed in the new detergent. He told me that "it looks brighter and it even feels cleaner." Well, that clinched it. We have a new laundry detergent in this house.

If you want to give Charlie's Soap a try you can buy it in many places. First and foremost you can get it straight from the Charlie's Soap website. Plus you can get at most cloth diaper stores. I know the store I buy my diaper at (Kelly's Closet) sells it and I have seen it one the website's of many other diaper shops. If you are looking for someplace local you can always check out the retail locations page on the Charlie's Soap website.

Bonus for you guys is that Charlie's Soap is willing to give one of my readers a Laundry Powder Combo. It contains all three products that I sampled. And I promise you are going to love it!! In order to enter leave me a comment telling me what detergent you normally use. And if you use cloth diapers do you have a different detergent for them?
