The holidays are full of excitement, joy—and laundry. Between fresh linens, extra towels, and cozy winter outfits, your washing machine is about to work overtime. But with a bit of planning (and the right products), keeping everything clean, soft, and guest-ready doesn’t have to be stressful.
At Charlie’s Soap, we believe that clean should mean truly clean—no perfumes, dyes, or harsh chemicals. So before you welcome your friends and family, here’s your ultimate laundry checklist for a stress-free, eco-friendly holiday season.
1. Start with the Basics: Sheets, Towels, and Linens
Your guest room will feel instantly fresh with clean bedding and fluffy towels. Wash all linens—including pillowcases and blankets—a few days before guests arrive. Use Charlie’s Soap all natural laundry liquid, a hypoallergenic formula that removes dirt and odor without leaving behind synthetic fragrance or residue.
Tip: If you haven’t washed your guest sheets in a while, pre-treat any stains and run them on a warm or cold cycle to protect delicate fabrics.
2. Tackle Table Linens and Holiday Napkins
Whether it’s a formal dinner or a cozy breakfast buffet, clean linens make all the difference. Our Natural Powder Laundry Detergent is perfect for removing food stains, wine spots, and spills while being gentle on fabrics like linen and cotton.
Pro tip: Add a scoop of Oxygen Bleach: Non-Chlorine Bleach for a safe, eco-friendly whitening boost that won’t damage your tablecloths or napkins.
3. Freshen Up Throws, Blankets, and Curtains
Soft furnishings tend to hold dust and odors—especially in homes with pets. A quick wash with our all natural laundry liquid will remove hidden dirt while keeping fabrics soft. For larger items like throws or curtains, use a gentle cycle and avoid overloading the washer to ensure an even clean.
Bonus: Using fragrance-free detergent means your home will smell clean—not perfumed—just in time for guests.
4. Wash Your “Hosting Wardrobe”
From aprons to festive sweaters, you’ll be in and out of the laundry room more than you think. Our liquid laundry detergent is tough on stains and odors from cooking and baking, yet gentle enough for wool, silk, and other delicate fabrics.
If you’re short on time, our Laundry Detergent Packets offer the same deep clean in a convenient, pre-measured format—perfect for busy hosts managing multiple loads.
5. Don’t Forget Laundry Room Prep
The holidays are hectic enough—so make your laundry routine efficient and eco-friendly. Stock up on the essentials:
- Laundry Booster for Hard Water – ensures detergent rinses fully for a residue-free clean.
- Biodegradable Stain Remover Spray – ideal for last-minute spot cleaning before guests arrive.
- Refillable containers to minimize plastic waste and keep your laundry space organized.
Keeping your supplies in order means less chaos and more clean clothes when it matters most.
6. Embrace Eco-Friendly Habits
The holidays are the perfect time to make small changes with a big environmental impact. Wash full loads, use cold water, and skip fabric softeners that leave chemical residue on clothes and towels. Charlie’s Soap products are biodegradable, plant-based, and EPA Safer Choice-certified—so you can celebrate knowing your cleaning routine is gentle on your family and the planet.
7. Enjoy the Clean, Not the Scent
A clean home doesn’t need perfume to feel fresh. Our unscented laundry detergents let your linens and clothes smell naturally clean—because true freshness doesn’t come from chemicals.
When guests arrive, they’ll notice the difference: soft, clean fabrics that feel as good as they look.
