we gave the charlie soap a try and I though it did very well. It is on the pricey side but you only use a small amount each load. On the other side, my brother sent me a recipe just the other day for homemade laundry soap. It is all he is using now and it cost just pennies on the dollar. Hope...

Has anyone ever used any of these in CP? I love the smells of all of these, but don't know how well they will hold up. If anyone has tried please let me know. Thanks MM
