It's especially important to reduce the amount of
washing detergent you use.
Washing clothes in soft water not only means you will need less
detergent to get your clothes clean, but also that the detergent
you do use will rinse out completely. Washing in soft water makes
your clothes look brighter and whiter and they will last longer too.
After bathing in soft water, your skin should feel silky soft. The
silky feeling is your smooth skin without soap curd or residue.
When bathing in hard water, this soap residue is normally left
behind. The soap curd that left a visible ring around your bathtub
was also left on your skin. The same difference is applied when
using shampoo.
Reduce or eliminate the use of fabric softeners:
Fabrics washed in hard water retain soap curd or residue, making
them crackle when removed from the dryer or stiff if air dried. It
is necessary to use fabric softeners when washing your clothes in
hard water to help keep them soft.
When washing with soft water, you can reduce the amount of
fabric softener used in your laundry or eliminate it altogether.
Take special precautions with automatic
dishwashers:
Soft water, when combined with caustic phosphates in some
dishwasher detergents and very high temperatures in the dry
cycle, can etch dishes and glassware. To prevent this from
happening, use the "no heat" dry cycle on your dishwasher.
Use the minimum amount of good quality, low phosphate
dishwasher detergent needed to clean your dishes. This may be
as little as 20% of the amount recommended by the appliance
manufacturer or dishwasher detergent container. Wash good
china and crystal by hand.
