But as it soaks through the ground to rivers and lakes and weiis - on its way to your faucet - il dissolves 'hard' minerais. So it is less able to dissolve other thines. such as soap. The liard minerais combine with soap to form a sticky scuim around bathtubs anid wash basins. The minerais form 'lime' deposits on ketties, pipes and water heaters. Bard water is hiard on soap, hardî on clothes, liard on people.
