I've made the switch to Charlie's Soap for all our mountains of laundry! I liked the Rockin' Green detergent but I seemed to need a lot of it to clean the cloth diapers and I just wanted to switch to a detergent that I could use for everything.
Charlie's Soap is 100% biodegradable - which the hippie in me loves. :) There's nothing like saving the earth whilst doing a load of laundry! Makes me want to throw on my Wonder Woman costume for the whole affair. Now that would be a sight!
I prepped the machine (per the instructions on the Charlie's Soap canister) and successfully washed a load of cloth diapers and am happy with the results. I'm working on some sheets now...so we'll see how it works on larger loads. You supposedly only need 1 TBS per load! Which I find amazing! If it really works as well as they claim - it will save a lot of $$$$ in the long run as well. We all know how expensive detergent can be.
It is also supposed to dissolve well in cold water so I could even go back to doing cold/cold cycles! Another energy-efficient bonus!
I'll post some updates soon...

ReplyDeleteI'm still using the Charlie's Soap for diaper laundry and all other loads. It's nice to only have one detergent for everything! I definitely have noticed that I need to use Bac Out or Biokleen oxygen plus bleach to get stains out, though, as the Charlie's Soap doesn't work well on stains.
