There are a number of tips you can follow to reduce the effects of hard water in your home, without having to make any major changes:
Use a synthetic body wash to shower:
Some confusion may arise after a first experience with soft water. Hard water does not lather well with soap and leaves a “less than clean” feeling. Soft water lathers better than hard water but leaves a “slippery feeling” on the skin after use with soap. For example, a certain water softener manufacturer contests that the “slippery feeling” after showering in soft water is due to “cleaner skin” and the absence of “friction-causing” soap scum.
However, the chemical explanation is that soft water, due to its sodium content, has a much reduced ability to combine with the soap film on your body and therefore, it is much more difficult to rinse off. Solutions are to use less soap or a synthetic liquid body wash.
Choose a correct laundry detergent:
Some laundry detergents do not produce as many suds in hard water, these are likely to be soap-based products and do not work as well in hard-water as detergent based products. Nowadays, there are washing powders and liquids available for a wide range of water hardness. Make sure you choose the correct detergent for your area; you may also need to use slightly more detergent than the manufacturers recommended amount to compensate for the hard water. In many cases the manufacturer will give specific instructions on how to use the product in hard water areas, look out for these labels on your product.
Reduce the temperature of your boiler:
As the water temperature increases, the more mineral deposits will appear in your dishwasher, water tank and pipes. By reducing the heat of your boiler to about 55ºC, you will have enough hot water for your shower and you will reduce the amount of mineral build-up in your pipes and tanks.
Use rinse agents to remove mineral deposits:
There are many rinse agents available to remove mineral deposits from crockery and dishwasher. Alternatively, you can use white vinegar by using the dishwasher dispenser or placing a cup of vinegar on the dishwasher rack. Boil some white vinegar in your kettle as a useful way of removing hard water deposits.
