Directions from Packaging

Necessary for First Time Users: Run a large empty load with a few old rags and two scoops of Charlie's Soap to remove possibly harmful residues from your ashing machine left behind by other detergents. Some of you laundry, and your washing machine, may require several washings before old detergent residue is fully removed and you notice the lasting benefits of using Charlie's Soap - low suds, softer clothes, etc. For Best Results in Everyday Use: Use only one full tablespoon of Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder for a large load of laundry, even in HE washing machines. Softeners are not recommended or needed. Apply detergent directly to clothes. Wash according to care instructions. Test on garments that may bleed or fade. Note: Charlie's Soap is not a disinfectant.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
