One thing that can certainly harm clothes in a washing machine is hard water. If you do wash your clothes with hard water, the result could be clothes that seem very stiff. It can even result in your clothes fading faster than under normal circumstances. Thankfully, there is a solution. That solution is to create your own no salt water softener.
First, go retrieve an empty gallon of milk. Make sure to wash it out several times. You want to make sure you remove every last drop of milk from inside the container. Now fill the jug half way full with water. Into the water, add some dish soap. However, only use mild strength dish soap.
Next, screw the cap back on the jug. Swish the water and soap around until it has touched every part of the jug. Continue cleaning it until you can no longer smell either the milk or the soap.
Go get a black marker. Mark the jug as "no salt water softener." This is done so no one mistakes it for something else. Ingesting no salt water softener can be deadly. To further drive home this point, remove any labels or stickers from the jug.
Now that the jug is clean, it's time to make the actual water softener. Get some Borax and add a quarter pound of it into the jug. Also add a half a pound washing soda. Next, slowly fill up the rest of the jug with warm water.
Now go retrieve a thin dowel. Use it to mix the contents of the jug very thoroughly. You should keep stirring until you see that all the powder inside the jug has been completely dissolved into the liquid.
Your no salt water softener is now finished. If you have somewhat hard water, you should add one cup of this mixture to each load in your washing machine. If you have really hard water, however, you can add two cups.
When you use the no salt water softener, make sure that you only use one half the amount of detergent you would use normally. If you do not, it could affect the water softener's effectiveness.
