Charlies Soap- In 1976, Charlie Sutherland, Jr., and his brother-in-law Ron Joyce were working for the yarn oil division (run by Charlie's dad) of a large textile yarn company. The yarn company asked Charlie to find a soap to clean up the oils his division was making and other accumulated grime the yarn machines picked up. Rather than buy a soap, Ron and Charlie started making it themselves, on the sly, in an old barn on Ron's dad's farm. Charlie came up with the final formula after a short while; the stuff worked great, and they were in business.
Charlie's Soap is a revolutionary approach to laundry care.
It does not cover up stains and odors with scents and brighteners
Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder is made with a unique blend of
biodegradable coconut-based detergents and high-grade, completely soluble, Green River washing soda. I myself am a big user of Charlies Soap for not only my Cloth diapers but for all my families clothing. It is an unbelievable stain remover, eliminates funky odors and is excellent at cleaning my cloth diapers. I have noticed that since switching to Charlies soap 6 months ago Emma's diapers are cleaner , lighter, and do not have any build up on them. My childrens clothing comes out clean and smelling great. You can see the clean and smell the freshness of your laundry. Just like the package says:
Leaves nothing but the
good old-fashioned sweet smell of clean.
If you want flowers
go pick some!
Their 2.64 lbs. bag of laundry powder can do up to 80 full wash loads. That's just pennies per load! Needs only 1 TABLESPOON per large wash load - That's all! This is not an additive.

Title Charlie's Soap tested on a Wide Variety of Soils
Test fabrics (bleached 100% cotton) were washed with Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder and dried before staining. The fabrics were then stained and allowed to sit for 30 minutes. The stained fabrics were then pre-sprayed with Charlie's Soap All Purpose Cleaner and agitated till all parts of the stains were exposed and allowed to sit for another 30 minutes. The fabrics were then rewashed with Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder and air dried. Results were determined by light reflectance difference before staining and after washing the second time.
