Charlie's Laundry Soap™

*Now packaged in new non-clumping bags!  Charlie's Soap™ Laundry Soap is a revolutionary approach to laundry & cloth diaper care.  It does not cover up stains and odors with scents and brighteners - it really cleans.  It is made with a unique blend of biodegradable coconut-based detergents and high-grade, completely soluble, Green River washing soda.  This also makes it a perfect soap for babies or those with sensitive skin.  The ONLY laundry soap that I use on ALL of my wash, due to my son's very sensitive eczema-prone skin. 

*Some GREAT studies and reports of Charlie's Soap™:

A test was performed with 100% cotton cloth diapers. Poor rinsability was indicated by a weight gain after controlled washing and drying.  Diapers washed in Tide Liquid (at recommended levels) gained nearly 2% in weight after only 8 washings. Those washed in Charlie's Soap™ (at recommended levels and 4 times recommended levels) gained no measurable weight at all.

To qualify as biodegradable, a substance must be 80% degraded in 28 days. Charlie's Soap™ degraded over 97% in soil in 28 days and is certified safe for use in small lakes and streams.  Charlie's Soap is a Registered Trademark of Shiloh Products, Inc

*Charlie's Laundry Powder™ is packaged in a 2.64 lb Bag ~ enough for 80 LARGE loads!  Only 1 TABLESPOON used per large wash load ~ (¼ the amount recommended by the competition).

*Charlie's Liquid Laundry Soap™ is packaged in 17oz bottles ~ enough for 16 Large laundry laods.  Use only 1/8 cup per large load.

Chico Bags

Of all the reusable bags I have tried, Chico has by far been the best!  As many know, Chico Bag's mission is to help humanity kick the single-use bag habit.  The average family uses between 300 and 700 plastic bags per year. Currently, 97% of these bags end up in either a landfill or littering our planet's fragile eco-systems.

Made of strong and durable woven nylon. It is very lightweight & highly compressible allowing the bag to be rolled up into a compact size. Each bags folds up into its own integrated pouch with a attached plastic carabiner clip to hook on a key chain, backpack, diaper bag, ect.  We store ours in our glove box so they are always with us.  Each bag only weighs 1.5oz and holds up to 25lbs.  Very easy to clean, machine washable with cold water and hang to dry. 

*Available in a variety of colors including: Green, Pale Green, Red, Mango, Brown, Black, Blue, Pink, Purple, and a Blue bag with a Earth Design.

    Maggie's Soap Nuts™

    Maggie’s Soap Nuts™ are the only laundry soap that actually grows on trees!
    Soap Nuts™ are the dried fruit of the Chinese Soapberry tree.  They contain Saponin, a natural cleaner used for thousands of years to clean clothes.  Soap Nuts are actually a dried fruit related to the lychee.  People with nut allergies can safely use Soap Nuts™!
      
    Truly effective and 100% Natural, safe for your most sensitive skin. 

    Simply put a few Soap Nuts™ into the included cotton sack and drop in your laundry. We recommend two whole Soap Nuts™ per load of hot water wash.  For really dirty clothes, giant loads, or when washing in cold water, you can use more Soap Nuts™.  When washing with cold water, you can use up to 4 nuts and reuse them up to 4 times.  Your clothes will come out clean, vibrant, and soft with every wash.  Replace your laboratory detergents and softeners with the soap made from Nature by Nature.

    The liquid version of Soap Nuts™ is the only truly natural laundry detergent in the World!  The liquid contains organic
    essential oils of lavender, tea tree and lemongrass for their beautiful fragrance and anti-microbial qualities.  The fragrance disappears
    during washing leaving only the wonderful soap nut clean smell.  Soap Nuts™  Liquid Laundry is super concentrated.  Depending on the washer and the water used, less than a tablespoon may be all that is needed for a load of clothes.  Our Laundry Liquid is safe for all fabrics and washers and will leave your clothes soft and free of chemical factory residues.

    Most laboratory cleaners contain foaming agents to “trick” consumers that the product is working.  Because they are low sudsing, Soap Nuts™ are ideal for HE and front-loader machines.  Soap Nuts™ have a 4 Star rating for Cloth Diapers on The Diaper Jungle!
