When you wash in soft water, your skin feels the way it should: clean, refreshed and silky smooth. With hard water, soap reacts with minerals to form a stubborn residue that’s tough to rinse off. That “squeaky clean” feeling is actually your skin sticking due to leftover soap film.
Soft water rinses away soap and shampoo more effectively, leaving no residue behind. The silky feeling you notice is simply your skin’s natural oils, no longer blocked by hard water buildup.
After installing a water softener, you’ll also find you need less soap, shampoo and detergent, since they’re no longer working against the effects of hard water.
