Has anyone used this detergent just for baby clothes? I'm wondering if it is also good at getting out other organic stains (food, grass, etc.).

I haven't found this detergent to be effective on anything when used alone.

This does fine for general laundry, but is a bit too expensive for general laundry use. For grass, Era is best. For blood, Oxyclean. My new favorite for cloth diapers and laundry is biokleen sport laundry liquid lavender & eucalyptus scent. $11 for 128 loads. Found at Whole Foods

I have not had any issues with my dark colored clothes fading while using this product. It is a very gentle product that doesn't leave any residue and my clothes have a nice clean smell not a perfumed smell. I did find that I needed to use an additional cleaner for stains because like many detergents it alone didn't completely clean the stains. I have kids that play sports so I have to deal with grass and dirt stains on their uniforms. I know molly's does sell an additional product for stains so I would recommend that as well if you have kids.

My consultant told me every 3 months to put cloths in boiling water in a pan on the stove and that helps release the residue. Also in between this for laundering you really should use their detergent. It seems quite expensive but you use very little and it really goes a long way. Other detergents leave residues on them really badly. I use that detergent in a shaker on my tile grout in bathroom too. It's great stuff. These are by far the best cleaning things on the planet!!

The only times I've used it for laundry I have used it as an additive and have been very happy with the results. It is a powder and I don't like using powder detergent for laundry. I mostly use this product for its excellent cleaning capabilities.

Do not use this for clothes. The carbon will leave a black stain on your clothes. This is only used to remove odors, colors and medications in water

I have successfully used Fels-Naphta to remove stains from dry-clean only items ( wool coats etc.) Then a vigorous brushing and an airing, either on clothes line or in the dryer, thus saving taking it to dry-cleaning. Other spot removers are much more environmentally damaging. Castile soap would be an all-natural options, but did not work well in spot removal.

It certainly seems to clean well -- i haven't had occasion to try it on say, grass stains or heavy grease, but my experience has been positive. I think it works better than some of the other eco-friendly detergents I have tried. That said, everyone's laundry is different, yes?

This won't harm your clothes at all. It's the ingredient that they used to put in all laundry detergents but took out several years ago due to environmental issues. I'm a big environmentalist but not when it comes to cleaning products. This is the ingredient that helped make detergents clean your clothes (it's out of most major brand dishwasher detergents as well). I put in less than a teaspoon in my washer (front loader) & about 1 teaspoonful in the dishwasher so 1 box will last you years.

I use the product solely on my clothes/underwear. I use regular detergent for everything else. Live the smell and I keep it just for me!

I think the is the best detergent I have ever used. I live on a farm and my husband is a mechanic. Our laundry really tests the product, and it does a fabulous job with people, horse, and dog laundry. I don't know how to answer your question, but if you contacted Rockin Green, I know they will get right back to you. Good luck!

I've only used it on flooded carpet. It worked great on that, but it leaves the kind of smell that you associate with cleaners--not bad, but definitely that kind of smell. You'd have to wash the clothes in a "normal" detergent afterwards, etc. to get rid of it.

I used it as a laundry booster, similar to borax. I also tried pre-soaking some stained clothing in a diluted solution. I think oxyclean works better for the latter. I haven't tried it as a sole detergent, so I can't comment on that. However, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have a big family and my kids are very rough on their clothes, so I always opted to use it as a secondary product.

I haven't tried it for that purpose. For organic stains I've had good luck with Lift off products.

It shouldn't be used at all. It is the absolute worst for diapers. There are no actual cleaning agents in this. It is quite literally a very expensive bag of useless powder.

Well, all I can say is that my daughter swears by this soap. She says her laundry smells fresher and the clothes are cleaner. Her budget is verrrry tight and she had been using the cheapest detergent she could find. She believes the cheap detergent left residues on the clothing and Charlie's cleaned it right up.Aside from my daughter, I would say that everyone has to use laundry detergent and everyone has an opinion. So, yes, there could be lots and lots of reviews.Good luck!

Oh my gosh, YES! You should try to pretreat the tough stain with a bar of laundry soap like Fels Naptha or Zote. Use the washer on the clothing and then let it soak for really bad stains. Then go back to washing.

Yes, I know what you mean. I usually keep a bucket going of Shaklee Nature Bright Laundry Booster & Stain Remover in the laundry room. I just toss my makeup stained rag in the bucket to soak for a few days and then launder. This usually removes everything. And this stain remover is amazing. I removes almost anything if yo leave it in there long enough. And all their stuff is biodegradable. Oh, the other thing I do is after each use I rub my cloth together under the running water to reduce the makeup left behind.
