Why do you say that soup gets wasted if hard water is used for cleansing purpose?

Hard water contains the salts of calcium and magnesium, which neutralize the soap. So that more or less amount of soap is precipitated before you get the effect of soap on the water. Only after you have wasted the certain amount of soap, you get the foam in the water. The ability of soap to clean the clothes comes only after foam formation.
