The right detergent deep cleans your clothes, eliminates stains, and leaves you with a long-lasting freshness. However, the wrong detergent can harm your fabrics, contribute to caked-on grime, and leave you with detergent stains.
That’s why the age-old debate keeps on raging: which type of detergent is the right one to use? How do you get the results that you’re looking for? Powder detergents, liquid detergents, and pre-measured options like detergent sheets have all been offered as the be-all, end-all to laundry day. That’s why we’re here. We’ve compiled our expertise to settle the detergent discourse. Let’s review the case for powder detergent, liquid detergent, or detergent sheets.
Powder Detergent
Powder laundry detergent is a classic for a reason. Long-term laundry powder fans like its added convenience—powder detergent is easy to use, mess-free, and shelf-stable, so it’s perfect for long-term storage.
However, powder detergent does have some potential downsides. Standard laundry powders might fail to completely dissolve in the washer. Most powder detergents are incompatible with cold water washing. If powder detergent doesn’t dissolve in the washer, it can leave visible residue on clothes and fail to clean your laundry. Plus, undissolved detergent can get clogged in the drain hose of your washer, affecting your machine’s performance and longevity.
That’s why Charlie’s Soap natural powder detergent is made to dissolve completely. Yep—even in cold water cycles. If you’re a fan of cold water washing to lower your electricity bill and reduce your home’s carbon footprint, Charlie’s is for you. Our powder detergent cleans your clothes and then rinses away, leaving no powdery residue, no detergent build-up, and no blockages in your washing machine. In fact, after using Charlie’s Soap, your washing machine may even be cleaner.
Liquid Detergent
Liquid has become the standard detergent in many homes. Many people prefer liquid detergent for soaking, spot-treating, and hand-washing since it’s easy to use outside of the washer and doesn’t have to dissolve.
For liquid laundry detergent lovers, there is one big challenge: dilution. Standard liquid detergents that you pick up off the shelves are as much as 60% water. That means less than half of the detergent is actually detergent, and probably half of that is useless filler. Diluted detergents require additional time, product, and effort to clean your clothes, leading to a massive waste of time, energy, and money.
Charlie’s liquid detergent is different. Like our laundry powder, our natural liquid laundry is ultra-concentrated, so you need less to get a better clean. One single 32 oz bottle of Charlie’s detergent can last for up to 50 loads. It’s a dependable detergent that gives and gives because we use the exact amount of water needed to dissolve our surfactants and prepare them for the cleaning job. Any more water would be a waste, and any less it would be a pasty mess. Every ingredient in Charlie’s Soap, yes, even the water, has a specific cleaning purpose. Nothing is filler, and nothing is wasted.
Detergent Sheets
Laundry sheets are a new trend spreading through the eco-cleaning community. Detergent sheets offer a pre-measured amount of cleaner in the form of a single sheet. Fans are sold on detergent sheets for minimal storage space and convenient use. However, detergent sheets have a few mortal weaknesses. Like standard powder detergents, laundry sheets may fail to dissolve completely, particularly in cold temperatures. As a result, they can leave a layer of undissolved detergent on your clothes that sits over time, affecting the fabric’s texture and scent.
Want the convenience of pre-measured laundry without the drawbacks? Check out Charlie’s laundry packets, perfectly portioned for one packet per wash. They’re quick-dissolving in all temperatures above 55°, colder than most standard cold-water cycles. You can count on all the power of a Charlie’s Soap clean in a convenient package. Many other brands suggest that a single tab, sheet, or pod is enough for a small amount of laundry, but you may end up using three or more for a larger load. With Charlie’s Soap, only one packet is all you need, no matter how big or small the load of laundry.
