charlie's soap users

I'm going to try Charlie's Soap for my cloth diapers and I have two questions:

1) Do you ever use the liquid version, and, if so, does it work as well as the powdered? My local WF carries liquid only, and while I'll order the powdered version, it'll be nice to know that I can get liquid locally as a backup.

2) Do you use it for regular laundry, and, if so, do you also use a separate fabric softener?

TIA!

I've only used the powder (and love it). I use it on the regular laundry too and sometimes I use a fabric softener, sometimes not. If I do, it's either vinegar or Ecover.

We switched all household laundry to Charlie's while I was PG and had to wash several loads in it before noticing it reached its full potential. The first couple loads smelled funny but as I read about it online I learned that it was because the Charlie's was stripping our washer of years of build up in the process.. so that was the smell. After a week or so, clothes were looking great with no smell and no need for any fabric softeners.

We've only ever used the powder.

We've only ever used the powder and use vinegar as a softener as well! We use it for all laundry.

I have only ever used the liquid and I love it. It workd great. I use it for DS's clothes with a fragrance free fabric softener sheet in the dryer. I use a regular free/clear detergent for DH and my clothes.

I only use the powder and for our regular laundry, not diapers, unless we are in a pinch. I use dryer balls in the dryer.
