About Hard Water

Bubble Bandit Combats Hard Water

Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, making it difficult to clean effectively with standard detergents. The higher the mineral content, the harder the water. Depending on where you live, water hardness varies significantly, and this can affect everything from your dishes to your laundry. Hard water can be especially problematic in dishwashers and washing machines, as minerals build up over time, leaving deposits on dishes, clothes, and even inside appliances like toilets and faucets.

Hard water makes it harder for detergents to lather and clean effectively. In fact, 85% of Americans have hard water, and around 30% use water softeners to combat the issue. For those living in hard water areas, using specially formulated laundry and dishwashing detergents like Bubble Bandit can make a big difference in cleaning performance.

Here’s why Bubble Bandit works so well: when combined with hard water, its sodium and natural phosphates break down and separate the calcium and magnesium, preventing them from depositing on dishes and clothes. These minerals stay suspended in the water and are easily rinsed away. This means you get sparkling clean dishes without white scum or water spots, and your clothes remain vibrant and fresh. Additionally, Bubble Bandit Laundry Detergent not only preserves the quality of your clothes, but also helps protect your washing machine from mineral buildup, keeping it running efficiently over time.

Using a detergent that combats hard water can also extend the lifespan of your appliances, preventing clogs and buildup that can affect their performance and longevity.
