Cut your energy bill in half with this cloth in the washing machine trick
Hard tap water encourages the formation of limescale deposits in the washing machine. These deposits prevent the washing machine from working properly and also affect the cost of the bill. If the water is very hard, the use of detergent may be useless due to its effectiveness. If you want your laundry to be cleaner and smell better, then you have to increase the amount of detergent you use, which increases the cost.
Lime hardens the fabric of clothing because it penetrates the fibers and sets. Excess lime can damage clothing. That is why it is essential to use natural products to keep your interior compartment perfectly clean and lime-free.
