Hard Water and Common Signs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hard water often contains high levels of dissolved minerals, primarily magnesium and calcium. Such minerals enter the water supply as most of the groundwater passes through limestone, chalk, or any other deposits, and it causes several household and personal care issues. Here are some common signs of hard water:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chalky_or_White_Residue_on_Fixture\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chalky or White Residue on Fixture<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common signs of hard water is the buildup of chalky or white residue on showerheads, faucets, and sinks as well. This is effectively caused by mineral deposits that are left behind when water evaporates.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shampoo_and_Soap_Dont_Lather_Much\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shampoo and Soap Don\u2019t Lather Much<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another sign of hard water is that when it reacts with soap to form a rich lather, it forms a scummy residue. Moreover, this makes it more difficult to wash hands, clean dishes, and bathe.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dry_Hair_and_Skin\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry Hair and Skin<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hard water strips off the natural oils, which can leave your skin feeling itchy and dry, which overall makes your hair dull and brittle.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clothes_Feel_Stiff_and_Rough\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clothes Feel Stiff and Rough<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another noticeable sign of hard water, when done in a laundry with hard water, the mineral that gets deposited sticks to the fabric and entirely makes the clothes feel stiff and rough.
