Benefits Of Clean Water

How Water Quality Affects Your Laundry

The water you use to wash clothes has a direct impact on how they look, feel, and last. Hard water, chlorine, and excess minerals can cause fabrics to fade more quickly, feel stiff, and wear out sooner than they should. Over time, this not only changes the appearance of clothing but also shortens the lifespan of towels, linens, and everyday items.

Detergents also perform differently depending on water quality. In hard or mineral-rich water, soap doesn’t lather as well and often leaves behind a residue. This buildup can make clothes feel scratchy, dull in color, or less thoroughly cleaned. Clean water, on the other hand, allows detergents to work more effectively, meaning less product is needed for better results.

The benefits go beyond fabrics. Washing machines and other laundry appliances are exposed to the same minerals, leading to scale buildup and mechanical strain. Clean water helps protect these investments, reducing the need for repairs and extending their lifespan.

Benefits of Clean Water for Laundry

  • Brighter, softer fabrics
    Clothes, sheets, and towels maintain their color and softness longer when free from mineral buildup.

  • Less detergent required
    Clean water allows soap to work more efficiently, reducing the amount of detergent and fabric softener needed.

  • Longer-lasting appliances
    Fewer minerals in the water means less scale buildup inside washing machines, helping them run smoothly.

  • Extended fabric life
    Clothing and linens hold up better over time when washed in cleaner water, saving money on replacements.

Water Quality

What We Test For

When we visit your home for a free water test, we don’t just look at taste and clarity. Our testing identifies the hidden issues that could be affecting your health, comfort, and home. Here are some of the most common things we check:

Chlorine & Chloramines

Often added for disinfection, these chemicals can leave water with unpleasant tastes and odors while irritating skin and hair.

Iron

Iron in water can stain sinks, tubs, laundry, and even damage pipes and appliances over time.

pH Levels

Water that is too acidic or too alkaline can corrode plumbing, affect water pressure, and alter the taste of food and drinks.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

This measures all the minerals, metals, and salts in your water. High TDS can cause scaling, poor taste, and faster wear on appliances.

Hydrogen Sulfide (Sulfur Smell)

That “rotten egg” odor is common in well water and can be unpleasant throughout the home.

Nitrates & Other Contaminants

Elevated nitrate levels can be a health risk, especially for children and infants. We also test for additional impurities as needed, including bacteria, lead, and PFAS where recommended.
