How Hard Water Makes Spring Cleaning More Frustrating

We're done with salty roads and sidewalks — and all the dirt and grime that comes with winter.

Spring is the perfect time to clear away clutter, stains, and unsightly build-up both inside and outside. Unfortunately, hard water not only causes staining, but it also makes deep cleaning more difficult:

• Hard water contains minerals that react with soap to create soap scum.
• Hard water can also cause white, chalky deposits and streaks on glass, mirrors, or stainless steel.
• Hard water can make buildup on fixtures and grout collect faster.
• Hard water can shorten the lifespan of major appliances that use water and make linens, bedspreads, and curtains harder to clean. It can also leave whites dingy.

Hard water affects your household year-round — dingy whites in the laundry, dry skin and hair, buildup that shortens the lifespan of washers, dishwashers, water heaters, and other appliances that heavily use water. It can require you to use harsher chemicals to get your home clean and spend more time scrubbing and rinsing.
