One of my unexpected discoveries from the Online Nourished Festival was the ECO line of products. These innovative cleaning products reduce waste and eliminate the use of chemicals.

Currently, there are four products available:

• ECOSCENT: This product eliminates the need of dryer sheets and can be reused for 3-6 months. I personally do not use dryer sheets, but I know many people do. This sounds like a good chemical-free alternative.
• ECOBOOST: This product reduces the amount of laundry detergent you need to use by 50%. It enhances cleaning, odor reduction and has a potent antibacterial effect on laundry. It can be reused for 300 loads of laundry.
• ECOWASH: This product is a 100% natural laundry washer that is reusable for 300 washes, or one year’s use. It completely replaces the need for laundry detergent! According to the website, It cleans as effective as laundry detergent, reduces odor 10X better than traditional detergent and has a potent antibacterial effect on laundry.
• ECOBATH: This product is a pure mineral bath infuser that continuously releases molecular hydrogen (H2) into the bath. According to the website, ECOBATH improves skin hydration, speeds wound healing, enhances skin barrier function and decreases inflammation. It is also effective for stress relief, soaking achy muscles and joints, highly therapeutic for psoriasis, eczema and many other health conditions. It is reusable for 300 baths and does not contain any toxic or synthetic chemicals.

Here is an up-close look at the ECOBOOST. All you have to do is place it in the laundry machine with the clothes you want to wash and use half of the detergent you normally use. After washing, remove the ECOBOOST so that it can air dry, or leave the laundry machine door open. I tried it out on my sheets, and I could not tell that I had used less laundry detergent. It still had that freshly-laundered feel!

The science that makes these products effective is really interesting. Instead of trying to explain the process in my own words, here is the official explanation found on the Natural Products website:

The mineral in the bag reacts in the water in three ways. 1: The mineral pellets release thousands of molecular hydrogen nano-bubbles which are so small they force their way through clothing fibers pushing out dirt, sebum, germs, bacteria and odor into the water to be rinsed away. 2. The pH level is increased creating ionized alkaline water which enhances the cleaning process. 3. Magnesium hydroxide is released which acts as a natural cleansing agent and highly effective natural antibacterial agent.

In my constant quest to find natural products to use inside and outside the home, I came across Charlie’s Soap. This company is dedicated to the following motto: “Live Green. Deep Clean.” I appreciate that Charlie’s Soap products contain only biodegradable and hypo-allergenic ingredients both for my family’s health and the environment.

Charlie’s Soap sent us their Natural Laundry Liquid Detergent, Oxygen Bleach and Indoor & Outdoor Surface Cleaner to try out in our home.

Charlie’s Soap Laundry Products

Welcome to the not-so-glamorous laundry space in our garage! I don’t think our blog has ever gone here before-ha!

At first, I was surprised that this small bottle of laundry detergent could do 50 loads! The amount needed is just a small capful. I liked that this detergent is unscented as I personally find strong-smelling detergents to be off-putting. This liquid detergent is also a lot less “gloppy” than other detergents I have used, so there is no messy residue left in the cap. Overall, I was pleased with the cleaning capability of this detergent.

In the past, I have been weary of using bleach with my laundry. Let’s just say I have had some bad experiences in the past. However, I do have a lot of white towels and sheets, so I know that laundry products with bleach could be my friend. Charlie’s Soap Oxygen Bleach comes in a powder form that can be added to your load of laundry. It does not contain chlorine, nor does it contain any perfumes or dyes. I was quite pleased with how my whites came out whiter, all without any harsh chemicals.

Charlie’s Soap Indoor & Outdoor Surface Cleaner

I have to admit, cleaning outdoor surfaces is not on the top of my to-do list. It was not difficult for me to think of places in my backyard where I could try out Charlie’s Soap Indoor & Outdoor Surface Cleaner.

The application could not be simpler. I sprayed the cleaner onto the surface I wanted to clean and waited the recommended thirty minutes. I used a brush to scrub the dirt off and used a hose to rinse it down.

I was impressed with the results. This stain had been there for a long time. I think if I repeated the process again, it would look even better! Charlie’s Soap Indoor & Outdoor Cleaner does not contain any abrasives, perfumes, phosphates, bleach, lye or dyes. The bottle says this cleaner can be used for cars, boats, bikes, driveways, siding, walls, pets, hands, engines, grills, and furniture. The cleaning possibilities seem endless!

Where to Purchase Charlie’s Soap

Charlie’s Soap products can be purchased through their website, or at a store near you. I was actually surprised to see that this brand is available at several stores where I shop. I will need to pay more attention to the shelves the next time I am shopping for cleaning supplies.

Since returning from our vacation, I have been turning my attention to cleaning and organizing our home. When I think about all that needs to be done, it feels overwhelming. However, I have been trying to break it down by concentrating on different zones. Today I am sharing a product that will help out with your refrigerator: Fridge Coasters.

Fridge Coasters are just what the name implies: “coasters” for your refrigerator. They are made from natural hard pressed wood pulp and printed with vegetable based inks. Fridge Coasters absorb drips and spills that inevitably occur in the refrigerator and eliminate moisture and odor. Once the coasters have done their job, they are easy to remove, recycle/compost and replace. They eliminate (or at least greatly reduce) the need to scrub refrigerator shelves and drawers.

Fridge Coasters come in a variety of styles and designs. The sight of these cheery liners make me smile every time I open my refrigerator. They also serve as motivation for me to keep my refrigerator organized and to toss the items that are past their prime.

Along with liners for the main shelves, there are also liners for the smaller side door compartments. My side doors were a little smaller than the liners, so I just gave them a trim with regular scissors to make them fit. Read more about Fridge Coasters and purchase them here.

I am excited when I find simple solutions to different household challenges. Let me know if you have found any products that help keep your home neat and organized!

One of my readers will win a set of Fridge Coasters in the design of their choice. Enter below!
