Who doesn't love a BONUS Friday Giveaway? This one is from Charlie's Soap!
The flu hit our humble abode last week and the days that followed were a blurry mess of cleaning and tons of laundry. Of course, I'm always switching my laundry detergent, having tried to make my own, to the brand of the moment that claims to be the best for baby. Yes, this will sound like an advertisement but trust me, I'm hooked! This stuff is good! I think I may have found a keeper and for someone who is obsessed with cleaning and cleaning with natural detergents, that says a lot.
Here's the deal, I had seen
Charlie's Soap a while ago and had planned on getting some for quite some time. I love the vintage look of their packaging and it comes in a cute little drawstring bag. It makes it look like I've got some super fancy detergent! I'm tempted to buy extra just to line up above my washer.
The number one reason I love this stuff? It's safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable. It doesn't contain any lye, brighteners, whiteners, dyes, softeners, petroleum, or perfume. It is safe and effective for all fabrics, including silk, wool, cotton, linen, microfiber, and waterproof gear.
For the past week, I have been using both the
Laundry Liquid and the
Powder on all my laundry - even the FLU laundry (and there was a ton of it). I can honestly say that I was a wee bit skeptical in the beginning, because you are only supposed to use one tablespoon per load. After using it, I am impressed. Our clothes are soft and clean, and the dirtiest of clothing doesn't smell one bit. They clean the heck out of everything all while being safe for my family and the earth. It costs about $0.20 a load, so it's fairly priced for a really amazing , safe detergent. I highly recommend it!
Next, the
all purpose cleaner. The first thing I tried this on was our old wooden kitchen table, which was my parents. This thing has had a hard life and has lots of ink and crayon marks here and there. I try to clean it often but never can remove them. I was pretty surprised when I used the
Charlie's All Purpose cleaner and it wiped off the dingy marks that have been there forever. I proceeded to clean my bath tub, sinks and counter top and found that it was easy to use and actually go the stuff really clean. So much better than I anticipated! Can you tell how excited I am about this product? Amazing, really!
So, it's official, I'm going to make the switch to
Charlie's Soap. It's safe, economical and looks pretty cool. They also claim to clean everything from "False Teeth to Diesel Engines", really? I'll have to keep that in mind!
Win It! Charlie's Soap is giving one lucky reader the same set of products I mentioned above (the laundry detergent, liquid and all purpose cleaner).
