Question from Dennis

Well after using Seventh Generation Free and Clear for the last year and a half. I decided to look for something else as I been reacting pretty bad from it lately.

After searching around and checking the list here, I called up Charlie’s Soap. They claimed there is no added scent, and no scent to the product. I received my powder the other day, and I have to say it has a pretty strong smell to it, enough so that I put it in a ziploc bag so it doesn’t spread through out the house.

I did a load of towels with it and a couple old shirts, I can’t really detect any smell in the clothing thankfully. I just worry how safe it is for Asthma and MCS. The clothes did come out nice and soft and clean though, and the first day I wore something it seemed ok, but today I been kind of itchy, so I don’t know yet.

Anyone else have opinions on Charlie’s soap? Or any other soap they use and recommend.

In the past I’ve tried:

Arm & Hammer essentials unscented: I had severe rashes from just brief exposure to stuff washed in it. Also after 2 washes and extra rinses the test shirts I washed were still unwearable.

Debra’s Answer

Readers?

I just want to comment here that all of these soaps mentioned are not particularly toxic, the question here is that the reader needs to find a soap that he individually does not react to.
