If you’re suffering from the effects of hard water, clothes, bed linen and towels that go through the wash will soon become starchy, scratchy and faded. They will lose their softness and colour, and you may find that this will irritate your skin.
When used with hard water, washing detergents don’t lather enough to clean clothes properly. This means you have to use a lot more detergent than you would with soft water, which in turn causes another problem.
In fact, it’s nearly 50% more!
The more detergent you use, the harder it is for your washing machine to rinse the suds out of your clothes. The residue that remains on your laundry negatively affects the material, resulting in dull, starchy, scratchy fabric.
