Water is “nature’s solvent” and is efficient at collecting debris on a molecular level. “Hard water” has minerals in it, which means the water has already collected debris. “Soft water” has this debris removed, which makes it better at cleaning again. Most cleaning agents, such as laundry soap, are mostly made of chemicals to soften water so that the actual soap in the cleaner will work with hard water. Soaps made for soft water don’t include these agents, which is why you don’t need to use as much of these soaps. Soft water soaps don’t work well with hard water.
