Charlie's Soap All Purpose Cleaner Quick Reference
• Use Charlie’s Soap All Purpose full strength if you can rinse the surface with
lots of water with no trouble.
o Clothes, hands, showers, tubs and sinks, tires, the dog, etc…
• Use Charlie’s Soap at 1/2 strength if you still need enough detergent to get
the job done but rinsing with a lot of water will be difficult. Rinse instead
with a wet sponge or wet chamois.
o Counter tops, stove tops, appliances, scuffs on floors, walls, etc.
• Use Charlie’s Soap at 1/4 strength or less for spray on/wipe off cleaning.
o Table-tops, furniture, vinyl car seats, etc.
More tips
• Carpets: To clean a spot, wet the area, spray Charlie’s Soap All Purpose
full strength one good time on the spot. Let it sit for a few minutes (up to 5
for normal stains, and longer for worse stains). Agitate. Add water and
blot up with towel or use a wet/dry vacuum. For the whole carpet, use no
more than half the recommended amount of the leading brand cleaner in a
carpet cleaner. For example, if your carpet cleaning machine calls for 1
cup of a particular cleaner, use ½ cup of Charlie’s.
• Hard floors: On a 15 x 15 room, spray Charlie’s Soap All Purpose full
strength a few times across the entire floor (no more than 5 sprays). Mop
up with water. You can spray it full strength on a single spotted area and
mop up, as well. You can also use <1% strength to mop with.
• Cars: 1 cup of Charlie’s Soap All Purpose to a 5 gallon bucket of water.
Sponge on the mixture, and rinse it periodically.
• Pets: Lather in Charlie’s Soap All Purpose and rinse periodically. Avoid
contact with pets’ eyes.
