Laundry is all about keeping your clothes clean, so why would you use detergents and soaps that are loaded with unpronounceable chemicals?

Charlie's Soap offers a better way, with all-natural detergent that does just as good a job as those chemically formulated alternatives. All offerings are biodegradable and hypoallergenic, to ensure every member of your family - and the whole planet - sees benefit from their use.

The History of Charlie's Soap

Charlie Sutherland, Sr., had an idea way back in 1971 and teamed up with his son, trained chemist Charlie, Jr., to create a natural cleaner for machines in textile mills.

It turned out the cleaner could be transformed for other purposes as well, from detergent and powder to stain treaters and more. Since then, the company's product line has expanded but the goal has remained the same: To make things cleaner, naturally.

Charlie's Soap Company Mission

Charlie's Soap is designed around two ideals: You want your clothes totally clean, and it's important to protect the planet.

To live up to the first, all detergents are just as effective as the chemical-filled options that line store shelves but have no additives or extras that can sometimes leave even "clean" clothes feeling chemical-y.

To meet the second, Charlie's makes sure its products are totally vegetable-based and therefore 98% biodegradable, versus an industry standard of just 70%.

As you probably already suspect, Charlie's Soap comes with many benefits that other detergents and laundry brands do not, including features like:

Biodegradable and recyclable
Nontoxic
Fragrance- and SLS-free
Safe for septic tanks
Hypoallergenic
Comes in recycled packaging
