Most Indian towns, except the top metros, depend on groundwater sources that have large salt deposits making the water hard. Detergent does not dissolve properly in hard water, and thus, you find white-colored deposits on your clothes, especially the darker-hued garments. Besides, the detergent residue can cause skin allergies if you wear these clothes without rinsing them properly. Secondly, the detergent residue can stick to the drum sides and the drain pipes to form a superficial layer and affect the…
