Description

Hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium leave a residue on your clothes, making fabrics look dull and feel rough to the touch. It can also cause “scale” (also known as “limescale”) or mineral buildup in pipes and plumbing fixtures, reducing the effectiveness of both your laundry detergent and your washer.

Charlie’s Soap Booster & Hard Water Treatment is a biodegradable phosphate that eliminates problems associated with hard water and aids with natural biodegradation of compounds in nature. By controlling hard water conditions, our Booster lets you get the bright, clean, softer, odor-free laundry you love, without the damaging residue.

Charlie’s Soap Natural Booster & Hard Water Treatment Features

  • Fragrance-free
  • Works in both traditional top-loading washers and HE machines
  • Powerfully removes the effects of hard water, but is still gentle on sensitive skin
  • Safe for all septic systems
  • Effective in hot water and cold water cycles

Charlie’s Soap Natural Booster & Hard Water Treatment Benefits

  • Enjoy clothes longer. The effects of hard water residues can weaken your fabrics’ fibers, shortening their lifespan. Our Booster & Hard Water Treatment cleans your clothes without the mineral buildup, meaning you can enjoy them longer. 
  • Environmentally friendly. Our biodegradable booster is made from an environmentally safe phosphate that softens water and leaves no hard water scale.
  • Sensitive skin friendly. Rinses completely from fabric, leaving behind no additives or residue on your clothes that can irritate sensitive skin. One of our most popular uses is for cloth diapers.
  • Save Money. Skip the expensive water softening system, but still gain softer clothes with an affordable, all-natural laundry soap. Both your washer and your skin will thank you.  Our 2.64 lbs bag can treat up to 160 loads of laundry.  Compare that to other water softeners that only treat a few loads.

How to Use Charlie’s Soap Natural Booster & Hard Water Treatment

If you have hard water issues, use at least ½ tbsp of Charlie’s Soap Natural Booster & Hard Water Treatment per wash, pouring directly into the drum. Use 1 full tbsp for tough stains or excessively hard water. Works most effectively when combined with the cleaning power of our Natural Liquid Laundry Detergent or our Natural Powder Detergent. We recommend using hot water during your cycle, so that the water temperature allows the products to fully dissolve and work their magic.

It can take several wash cycles to remove the initial hard water build up in your clothes, but after just a few laundry days, you’ll see your laundry detergent work harder with noticeably brighter, softer, and exceptionally clean clothes, without the need for bleach, brighteners, or fabric softeners.

This hard water treatment product is eco-friendly and safe to use in all washing machines, including traditional, top loaders and high-efficiency front loading washing machines.

Customer Questions

Is this just a booster or is it also laundry soap? Should it be used with laundry soap or just alone?

Our Booster/Hard Water Treatment was designed to be a companion to our laundry detergents to help customers that find themselves in need of additional cleaning power.

Hard water can be a combination of many different mineral types depending on where you live, time of year, or climate and can vary vastly. Our detergent does such a good job of removing dirt and contaminants that it sees those minerals as “dirt” and will latch on them to remove them from the wash water as well.  Depending on how many minerals there are, it may make it harder for Charlie’s to grab the dirt along with those minerals, and you may see your laundry not bright or possibly stiff from the deposit of those extra minerals back onto your laundry.

Using Booster/Hard Water Treatment helps rid the wash water of those extra minerals, allowing the detergent to concentrate only on the dirt and stains.

    Love this product! Really helps with the softness and cleanliness of the laundry. We have extremely hard water and this makes everything soft and easy to clean. I don't do laundry without using Charlies!

    Buy this!! My clothes have come alive again after adding a tablespoon to each load of laundry. No more dingy clothes at my house. My water is very hard with a lot of iron.

    Our clothes smelled muggy even after washing over and over again. We have hard water so we looked into products that might help and tried this. Our clothes smell clean now! zero must and they stay that way. So happy

    I move to an area with very hard water. Laundry soap on it's own would not get my clothes clean. The first load I tried with Charlie's Soap Laundry Booster was amazing. The clothes came out clean and had a nice fresh scent.

    Our well water is really hard. This is the first product I’ve found to actually work! Only a tablespoon per load, and we FINALLY feel like our clothes are getting cleaned, especially towels, gym clothes, and cloth diapers! And it’s free of dyes and chemicals. AND is safe for the environment. I’m over the moon, and will be using Charlie’s booster, detergent, and oxygen bleach from now until forever. Seriously. I’ve been searching for sooo long!

    It takes on the awful Florida water +front loader like a champ! I've been a Charlie's faithful for years. This product saves the (laundry) day now that I have moved away from my soft water home.

    Pleased I found out about this product from my daughter. I live in a part of the country that has very hard water. Since I have a well I was curious about this product. I have a front-load washer and hard water is a problem with getting clean laundry. I have been very impressed with this product. It has allowed my detergent to work better and get the clothes cleaner. I am hoping that after time it will also help to eliminate hard water build up in my washer.

    Hard Water - Big Help I bought a new washing machine and could no longer use my Calgon water softener since not OK for HE machines. Found Charlie’s Soap online and made orders for the liquid laundry soap and hard water booster. My clothes now come out not so stiff and the white stains I used to find on my dark clothes (from the hard water) are almost gone. Sometimes I see a little white on one piece of clothing but that’s much better than many pieces with large white stains.

    Excellent I've been using this for years and I just love it. When I run out I definitely notice a difference in the clothes. Not nearly as soft as I want them. And it doesn't make me itch! Bonus!

    Hard water treater I won't use anything else but Charlie's Soap for my laundry, and now I'm adding Charlie's Soap Booster, too. We have extremely hard water in our region and this product makes the laundry detergent work even better. Charlie's is as toxin-free as you can find, and it works wonderfully. Just say no to grocery store laundry products, especially dryer sheets, and the toxic perfumes they contain. Your machines will work better, longer, without getting gummed up by fabric softeners. The only difference you'll notice after you go without fabric softeners is your towels will be far more absorbent.

    Booster This product is the one my washer needed: our water is extremely hard, and though I valued Charlie's products, something was needed to finalize the cleaning process. Thank you whoever came up with this. I highly recommend any product that Charlie's makes. They are effective besides being good for the environment..

    New User I had purchased Charlie's Soap and then discovered that I needed the Booster also. My area does have hard water and I don't have a water softener. I like Charlie's Soap and now with the booster my clothes are softer. These products clean clothes and leave them fresh smelling and not just out of the washer. I used to use a free liquid detergent and my clothes always had an odd odor. No so with Charlie's Soap and Booster. Just fresh clean laundry. I have an HE Top Loader. Now I would replace it in a heartbeat with my old style washer if they still made them but I think we are stuck with HE machines. So if you have problems with your liquid soap leaving your clothing smelling like you never did laundry, give this product a try. I also have sensitive skin and have had NO reaction to Charlie's Soap and Booster. Thanks for making such a great product.
