What effect does hard water have on a detergent?

potaSome laundry detergents do not produce as many suds in hard water, these are likely to be soap-based products and do not work as well in hard-water as detergent based products.Hard water affects the chemistry of the action between detergents and water to prevent it from forming a good lather. This can affect the cleaning power of the detergent and reduce its effectiveness.Nowadays, there are washing powders and liquids available for a wide range of water hardness. Make sure you choose the correct detergent for your area; you may also need to use slightly more detergent than the manufacturers recommended amount to compensate for the hard water. In many cases the manufacturer will give specific instructions on how to use the product in hard water areas, look out for these labels on your product.


What is the difference between HE laundry detergents and regular laundry detergent?

HE laundry detergents are High Efficiency detergents. They are designed to make fewer suds than regular detergents and to work in clothes washers that use less water. Regular laundry detergents create a higher amount of soap suds and need more water to rinse the detergent out of the clothes being washed. The cleaning power of the two types of laundry detergent is about the same. However, you need to use the proper detergent for the type of washer you are using so that the washer can clean the clothes to the best of its ability.

How much detergent to use for load of laundry?

It depends upon several factors: a) The size of the load (the larger the load, the more detergent will be required) b) How dirty the load is (the more dirty, the more detergent is likely to be needed) c) How hard your water is (the harder the water, the more detergent is likely to be needed) d) The concentration of detergent used (the less concentrate the detergent, the more will be required) Basically, it is impossible to say how much detergent to use without seeing your laundry, how dirty it is, what kind of water you have and which detergent you intend to use. However, manufacturers will have done extensive testing of their products and will have instructions on the packaging as to how much detergent to use for various combinations of (a)-(c) above. If you are uncertain of the factors above I suggest your own testing: use the lower/lowest dosage suggested by the manufacturer and see how it washes - if it isn't satisfactory, try a higher dosage suggested. After a while of doing your laundry, you should have gained the experience to know which dosage to use for each load of laundry.
