I'm weary of buying this because of the insane number of reviews... Are these real? Can so many people review laundry soap? Please share your thoughs

I have used Charlie's soap for 2 years as my son has sensitive skin. It gets the majority of stains out and especially great at getting odors out ( BBQ smoke from our smoker, urine from stinky baby clothing, etc ) It is very reasonable price wise as we do a lot of laundry. We have a septic system and it is very green so we also appreciate that.

I started using Charlie's Soap about 6 months ago because of the reviews. I haven't used anything else since and have saved myself a tremendous amount of money. I never use fabric softener, but I still use liquid bleach with the whites.

Charlie's has been around for quite some time. I don't doubt the legitimacy of the number of reviews.

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!

I always figure if there are a lot of reviews it means two things. 1. The product has been around for awhile. 2. The product is with commenting on. I've used Charlie's Soap for 4 years and I use it to wash my cloth diapers. I've been happy with it. Recently I've started to research and consider alternate choices. Not because I'm unhappy with my Charlie's Soap, but because I just want to see what else is out there.

I agree with you R. Neve! $14/box is outrageous. Unfortunately, I can't purchase it locally because none of the stores offer it(small town life). I've been waiting for months for Amazon to get this back in stock and was shocked to see the price from other sellers. Does anyone know why Amazon stopped selling this? I've tried all kinds of natural automatic dishwasher detergents and this if by far the best.

Hello Consumer,I wouldn't buy it, for it irritated my skin and burned my skin. I have not purchase or know anything about the soap you mentioned in your posting. I would try a local beauty supply store versus buying this African soap..

Your guess is as good as mine. All I know is that the direct agents charge alot more. Plus $15 for shipping. Its ridiculous. All I buy is the soap. And does soap really expire? Soap is soap.

not that I have noticed and I am fairly sensitive to 'smell' that is out of place.I used to wash hands and face this morning, it's light and refreshing. If you give it a try, will you please let me know what YOU think of this soap? :)

I don't think they are distributing and soap or filter refills at any retail stores. I looked on E-bay and on Amazon and see them at around 9 bucks each. I went to an Odd-Lots today and saw the whole kit selling for $4. I bought six of them! Now I have filters/soap and replacment parts to last a few years. I wonder if anyone found a regular car wash detegerent that could replace the soap refill.

from my understanding they are based out of Atlanta. the best thing to do is communicate with the seller and hopefully with the nature of your concern I would hope that they would be honest. I purchased this soap 1 year ago and I still have it. it goes a long way and is a good product

It's just soap flakes. If you would wash your laundry with just a bar of soap then you could put these in. I personally add them in with other ingredients found in detergent to make a huge batch of dry detergent that lasts me a year

I never noticed any smell when I received it. I have had it over a year now and after washing it yesterday I checked and it smells like my laundry soap. I would give it a wash that should work.

You're right, it's an incorrect description. I ended up not using it in the main bathroom because when used by real people, soap residue gathers on the rounded middle and looks very unattractive, thus requiring constant washing.

They are "guest" soaps, which means they are tiny. It seems a very expensive item, considering their size. I intended as a gift, but am going to keep them myself as sachets. They smell wonderful, but they are too tiny to be used as anything else.

I found the soap on sale at Marshalls and TJ Maxx andgot a good deal - loaded up on a long supply. I've also used Kirkland, Costco brand liquid soap and diluted it a bit and it worked fine. I love this machine compared to another brand and it works great

I believe they are. I asked my washer repairman and my sceptic man but neither knew. I found this web site that answers this and other questions: http://www.laundrytree.com/using-soapnuts/faqs.html I hope this is helpful to you. The septic question is near the bottom of the list, which is quite comprehensive about soap nuts. I have been using them for about a year now and will never ever go back to commercial laundry products. One secret as with any laundry soap is not to overload your machine. It helps to place the nuts in a bit of hot water before putting them into the machine; I use a clean jam jar for this purpose. The smell I was getting in my HE washer disappeared almost entirely once I stopped using that sticky soap with all the dyes. My clothes smell much cleaner! I love this product and will always use it from now on. I haven't check the cost but I also believe it is cheaper per load than commercial stuff. So in the end this web site is probably right, and the nuts are actually beneficial for septics. It makes sense: you aren't putting chemicals in your septic. The nuts are extremely low-sudsing, too. SKO

I have not yet tried TOBS's Lavender soap, but when I have tried other brands of soaps. I, however, have always found it harder to get a good lather with soaps. Perhaps it is the brush, or perhaps TOBS makes a much different soap. I will have to try their soap though, and I'll get back to you with an experience rather than just a guess. Blessings.

In my honest opinion this is not a fake. I also believe that amazon couldn't legally sell a fake. Flowerbomb smells amazing and the scent lasts for days. This is exactly what this product gives. I'm happy with my purchase and I don't regret it or think I have been ripped off. I believe I got a great sale discount on a normally pretty expensive product. Hope this helps?

Sorry, can't help. But I love this soap... I can appreciate a worry about allergies, etc. Good luck.

I wouldn't use it as my daily detergent, but I have when I'm in a pinch. It would be too expensive for me to use all the time, although I love the smell so much I wish I could! Last time my husband bought laundry soap for me, he bought the unscented, so I just added 4 or 5 drops of "forever" to each load to make my clothes smell good.
