What is Sof t Water Rainwater is sof t. But as it soaks through the ground to rivers and lakes and wells - on its way to your faucet - it dissolves 'hard' minerais. So it is less able to dissolve other things, such as soap. The bard minerais combine with soap to form a sticky scum aroundbathtubs and wash basins. The inerais form 'lime' deposits on kettles, -pipes and water heaters. Hard water is bard on soap, hard on clothes, hard on people.
