Why hard water consumes a lot of soap?
The calcium (as calcium carbonate) in hard water replaces the sodium on the fatty acids of the soap causing them to precipitate as a sticky scum. This deposits soap scum on the things being washed and causes the formation of "bathtub ring" on bathtubs, sinks, etc.

What is the difference between soap and shower gel?
Soap is primarily sodium stearate. It leaves a film when it combines with hard water to form calcium stearate (soap scum). Body wash is a detergent that does not form soap scum. It, like Zest bath bars has no sodium stearate. The difference between the Zest and most body washes is the fragrance in the recipe and that you are paying for a whole lot of water and a fancy bottle.

Why does shampoo bubble up?
If you mix water, soap, and air, the soap molecules line up side-by-side to make a layer. One side of this layer has the oily, air-liking ends sticking out and the other side is covered with the water-liking ends. The water molecules stick to the water side and the air to the other side. If you have a lot of air and a little water, which is what happens if you blow a lot of air into a soap-water mixture, then you wind up with a sandwich of three layers: Soap with the oily ends facing the air on either side and water in between. This is just the wall of a soap bubble. So the reason soap, water and air makes bubbles is because air and water molecules don't like to stick together but will stick to different ends of soap molecules.

Why is it not good to wash clothes in hard water?
There is nothing wrong with washing clothes in hard water. Millions of people do it every day. Water is 'hard' if it contains calcium or magnesium ions from the rocks over which it ran before collection. These ions form a curdy solid when they come in contact with soap, and this solid is called scum. It's a nuisance, and uses up the soap so that it can't clean the clothes. This means you have to use a lot of soap, as so much is wasted. This is probably the problem you are thinking of. The scum is also very difficult to rinse away and can make colours dull. However there are ways of avoiding the formation of scum. Firstly, if you use soapless detergents, no scum is formed. This is because soapless detergents are chemically different from soap and don't undergo the same reaction. That is why there is no problem in hard water if you wash your hair with shampoo or your hands with liquid hand wash. If manufacturers put soap in their products, they also include sodium carbonate (washing soda) which removes the hardness from the water. You can add washing soda yourself if you want to use soap, or use any of the many other water softening methods available.
