that is what I told myself, but with this hard water muck soap doesn't
lather like it should

You just need a measurable quantity of soap, not just a molecule.

The big advantage is that you get to wash the soap off easily instead or
rinsing for 20 mins.

you only get that problem if you apply soap is if you were in a hard water
area. I've known lasses washing who were shocked at how little soap powder
they needed.


And as for what it does to the inside of kettles, pipes and such

Well it is good for healthy teeth. Plenty of calcium.

I would agree that it furs up pipes and immersion heaters, but then it
protects you from excessive intake of lead and copper from your pipes.

You have now sussed why plumbers in the southeast are in short supply
and earning 380 UKP/day.

yes, that will include hire of jack hammer.

No problem in a kettle, you just get crunchy bits from time to time.

Mind you I suppose you may not have graduated to pipes in your area so
heavy metal contamination may not be a problem. OTOH you may still
inadvertently be relying on 'advanced' roman infrastructure so there may
well be concealed leadwork about.


actually I know there is a fair bit of 'asbestos' water main about.

After all nailing tax collectors upside down on the church door went out
of fashion in the more advanaced parts of the UK in about 1350. I hope
you have taken him down now.


not while there are still good pickings for the birds, after all one has to
farm in an environmentally friendly manner, and even crows and magpies have
to eat.
