The August long weekend marks the peak of Canadian summer. It's a time for backyard barbecues, beach days, cottage adventures, and enjoying every moment outdoors with family and friends. But let's be honest, all that summer fun often comes with a collection of memorable (and sometimes stubborn!) stains on our clothes, gear, and even outdoor spaces.
From sticky BBQ grease and vibrant grass stains to sandy swimsuits and sunscreen residue, summer messes are inevitable. The good news? You don't need harsh chemicals to get everything sparkling clean again. With Charlie's Soap, you can tackle every summer stain and chore with powerful, eco-friendly solutions that are kind to your family, your gear, and the beautiful environment you just enjoyed.
No matter what kind of fun your August long weekend brings, Charlie's Soap has a solution for the aftermath:
The Mess: Sauce drips on picnic blankets, grease on your favorite shorts.
The Charlie's Solution: For fabric stains, grab your Charlie's Soap Laundry Pre-Spray. A quick spray directly on the stain, let it sit for a few minutes (or even overnight for tough grease), then wash with Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder or Liquid. For barbecue surfaces or outdoor tables, Charlie's Soap Indoor/Outdoor Cleaner diluted in water cuts through grease and grime effortlessly.

The Mess: Post-game soccer knees, muddy hiking boots, or a tumble in the backyard.
The Charlie's Solution: For grass stains, pre-treat with Charlie's Soap Laundry Pre-Spray. For general mud, let it dry and brush off excess, then wash with Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder or Liquid. Its powerful formula works without harsh abrasives, making summer stain removal simple.
The Mess: Oily marks on swimwear, towels, and clothing.
The Charlie's Solution: These can be tricky! Pre-treat heavily affected areas with Charlie's Soap Laundry Liquid directly, or use the Laundry Pre-Spray. The formula is designed to break down these oily residues effectively, then wash as usual.
The Mess: Sand-filled towels, gritty swimsuits, and general beach debris.
The Charlie's Solution: Shake out as much sand as possible first. Then, machine wash your beach laundry with Charlie's Soap Laundry Powder or Liquid. Its residue-free rinse ensures all sand and grit are washed away, leaving fabrics truly clean and soft.
