Stiff Towels & Dingy Whites? Your Water Might Be the Problem.
Ever wonder why your laundry doesn't have that soft, bright feel, no matter which fancy detergent you use? The answer isn't in the soap aisle—it's in your pipes.
If you live in San Diego County, you're likely dealing with hard water. This means our tap water has a high concentration of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. While it's safe to drink, it can cause some real frustration in the laundry room.
When you wash your clothes, these minerals cling to the fabric fibers. They also prevent your detergent from lathering up and working properly. The result is a cycle of laundry issues that can be hard to pin down.
Signs of Hard Water in Your Laundry
- Stiff, Scratchy Fabrics: Mineral residue builds up on your clothes and towels, leaving them feeling harsh and crusty instead of soft.
- Dull, Dingy Colors: That same mineral film traps dirt in the fabric, causing your whites to look gray or yellowed and your colors to appear faded.
- White Residue on Dark Clothes: You might notice chalky streaks or spots, which are undissolved detergent and mineral deposits left behind.
You may find yourself using more and more detergent to get your clothes clean, but this can actually make the problem worse by adding to the buildup.
