If dishes have spots, soap doesn't lather well and white clothes look gray, this means the water used is hard water,which is water with a high mineral-salt content. what can be done in this case?

water softners can be used,there are simple ones with low costs and expensive ones with high costs.this softner removes hardness from water but not toxins.

sometimes filtration should be considered too besides the water softners

Hard water is the type of water that has high mineral content (in contrast with soft water). Hard water minerals primarily consist of calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) metal cations, and sometimes other dissolved compounds such as bicarbonates and sulfates.

There are several other negative effects that come from hard water, one being that soap and detergent won't foam up which can make washing difficult. Another related problem is that the insides of your coffee maker, espresso machine or tea kettle will get a crusty buildup on minerals on the insides. These deposits are called 'mineral scale' and can be a pain to clean.

If you have hard water and find that it's causing your coffee or tea to be distasteful, you may want to switch to bottled water for your brewing. Or get a water softening unit.

A water softening unit is probably the best solution.

Cleaning choice
