Washing Kits

[witeowl]

I converted to Charlie's Soap a long time ago, and I've not looked back. I wash all my clothing together (tech, cycling, nontech), all on cold. I hang what musn't be tumble dried, and don't use any fabric softener. (I don't need to anymore! It's soft without any "softener" because I'm not getting detergent build-up!) Nothing smells perfumy, and it all smells fabulously clean. (As the package recommends, if I want to smell flowers, I go pick some. )

And let me tell you, it's not like my sweat don't stink. On top of that, I will often hang something for a couple of days, wear a second time, and let it sit in the hamper until wash day. Charlie's Soap is good enough to conquer even that odorific treatment!

I sound like an ad, don't I? What can I say? I love certain discoveries I've made.

The only caveat is that it's not particularly good at getting out grease stains. For that, I'll use some shout gel when necessary.

(Oh, and if you feel you "need" softener for the anti-static, I find that these work well enough in our desert air.)
