HOW TO USE SOFT WATER
You can significantly reduce the amount of these products
that you use. You may find you can use as little as one quarter
of the amount you were using before you had soft water! Even
though you’ll use less soap, you’ll get more suds and better
cleaning results.
Bathing
After bathing in soft water, your skin will feel “silky.” What
you’ll feel is your own smooth skin without any leftover soap
residue. When you bathed in hard water, you were never able
to rinse this residue completely. The soap curd that left a ring
on your bathtub also remained on your skin and hair, possibly
causing drying and cracking. Now that you have soft water, you’ll
feel soft, smooth and clean. And you’ll promote healthier skin
and hair by eliminating the drying effects of hard water.
Laundry
It’s especially important to reduce the amount of laundry detergent
you use by half or more. Washing clothes in soft water means you’ll
need less soap to get your clothes clean and it will rinse completely.
Washing in soft water makes your clothes look whiter and brighter,
and they’ll last longer, too.
Household Cleaning
Reduce or eliminate the use of fabric softeners.
Fabrics washed in hard water retain soap residue
making them “crackle” when removed from the dryer or stiff if air-dried. Fabric softeners
are necessary with hard water to keep your clothing soft, but with soft water,
you can reduce your use of fabric softeners or eliminate them altogether.
Reduce your use of soaps and shampoos by half or more.
Adjust according to your preference
and results.
Use less soap, detergent and household cleaners
.
Hardness minerals in water interfere with soap’s
cleaning ability. That’s why most leading brands of soap, shampoo, laundry detergent
and household cleaners contain chemicals that aren’t necessary with soft water.
