Hard Water Stains on Your Clothes? Here is Why.

If your whites are looking dingy, the culprit might be your water — not your detergent.

Hard water is water with a high mineral content — mostly calcium and magnesium. In South Florida especially, hard water is common and it reacts with detergent to leave a dull, chalky film on clothes.

The fix: use a detergent booster like washing soda, or drop your laundry off with a service that uses commercial-grade softeners. Our machines are calibrated for regional water hardness, so you get bright whites without extra effort.
