I was told I moved into an "extremely" hard water area.. Go figure, not that far from where we used to live... :scratch
Questions-
1. I read it's a good way to get your minerals, like Ca and Mg... :hunh?
2. I have borax, washing soda, and natural detergents galore. Can and should I supplement all loads with borax/soda? will it make it better or worse?
3. We have a marble counter in the bathroom ( :kiss never had one of these before... so pretty), it is new (less than 3 yrs.) and already has deposits of lime around the handles... what's safe for marble cleaning? vinegar?
4. what else should I know? we are renting and cannot install a water softening system... are there tricks though?
thanks, mamas, :heart

:popcorn We have hard water as well though I'm not sure how hard as we've never tested it.
