Way back when textiles were woven in the south, looms needed to be cleaned frequently of oils and fibers from the yarns that they spun. The first product Charlie invented to clean that machinery is still the basis for our indoor and outdoor surface spray cleaner. It wasn't harsh then, meaning workers didn't need gloves to protect their skin when using our cleansers. Same goes for today. Our non-toxic ingredients are formulated to be biodegradable, making it safer than industrial strength cleaners, but just as effective. Additionally, Charlie's gets rid of stains by allowing stains to let go and connect with the cleaner. Our solution lifts stains from your surfaces naturally, rather than dissolving them with harsh chemicals.
