Hard Water and Soft Water
•Water that contains more than 60ppm(particles per million) of calcium/magnesium is called hard water. •When the mineral content is in the range of 61-120ppm, the water is said to moderately hard and if its exceeds 180ppm the water is considered very hard.
•Temperory Hardness• Caused by bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium. • Can be removed simply by heating the water above 72 degree
Celcius•Permenant Hardness• Caused by sulphates and chloride of magnesium and calcium.
•EFFECTS OF HARD WATER • Does not allow lather formation from soaps and detergents.
Means more use of detergents to get the desired result.• Premature ageing of fabrics due to constant friction with the
deposits from hard water. Becomes coarse and uncomfortable to work
• Can cause discolouration• Gives rotten-egg odour.
Water Softening
•Water which has more than 50ppm hardness needs to be softened.•The reaction that happens in the removal of temporary hardness• Ca(HCO3)2 → CaCO3↓ + CO2↑ + H2O• Mg(HCO3)2→MgCO3 + CO2↑ + H2O / MgCO3 + H2O→ Mg(OH)2↓ +
CO2↑•Alkali Method – Calcium Hydroxide(Ca(OH)2) is used to remove the hardness from the water•Lime soda method – Sodium carbonate and calcium hydroxide are used.•Addition of sequestering/chelating agents – Organic compounds that react with metallic ions and form a complex. These metallic ions will be present in the water but will unable to ract with soap or detergent, thus making water soft.•Ion-exchange method – hard water is made to get into zeolite. Any hardness in the water through this process is completely removed.•Organic Base Exchange Method – Organic-base exchangers are synthetic resins containing the sulphonic and carboxylic acid group.

DetergentThe Cleaning Agents that are used with water, loosen and remove dirt and hold it apart so that it does not stick again
Types of Detergent
Soapy Detergent
Basic Properties of Detergent:•Good wetting power – enable the surface of the article to be thoroughly wet.•Good emulsifying power – to breakup the grease and enable the dirt to to be loosened•Good suspending power – to suspend the dirt in solution, thus preventing its deposition.Composition of Detergent1. Active Ingredients – These lower the surface tension between water
and the cloth. The are natural oils or fats or obtained from petrochemicals
2. Builders – They give bulk to the detergents. They are added to improve handling and dilution property. E.g. Water for liquid detergent and sodium sulfate for powder
3. Additives – Added for extra effect. Bleaching agents, bluing agents, fluorescent brighteners, enzymes, and so on.
Contd
Powdered DetergentsPro: They're generally cheaper.Pro: The cardboard packaging is more eco-friendly.Con: Some people think they don't dissolve as well in water. This may have been a problem with some of the first powdered detergents, but these days, most powders are designed to readily dissolve in water.Con: Sodium sulphate can wreak havoc on septic systems.Con: Powders contain more chemicals compared with liquids, due to the filler.Liquid DetergentPro: The detergent is already pre-dissolved.Pro: You can pre-treat stains by pouring it directly onto clothes.Con: They're usually more expensive than powdered detergent.Con: They have plastic packaging, which is less eco-friendly.
How Detergents work Every detergent molecule has hydrophilic head, hydrophobic and oleophillic tail.1. Wetting Action –
• Lowers surface tension2. Emulsifying action –
• The grease gets attracted, trapped and gets removed from the fabric3. Suspending action –
• Since the grease is trapped now this due to fact that the hydrophilic heads at the other end from the grease molecule are attracted to water. The surfactant carry mild charge which repel each other. This also aids in suspending power of detergent.
Detergent
Soapy
Soapy detergents/soaps
Less ExpensiveEffective only in soft water• Toilet soap
• Different for guest rooms and for cloak rooms• Soap powders• Soap flakes – Simplest of all detergent, they dissolve easily and are
used for delicate fabrics washed at low temperatures.
Synthetic detergentsNot affected by hard water and have good suspending powerAlkaline detergents are widely used in housekeeping as they are very strong detergents and removes grease.• Liquid synthetic detergent• Powdered synthetic detergent• Solvent-based detergent• Biological detergent• Disinfecting detergent/sanitizers

Be effective in all ranges of hard water, without producing scum5. Be effective over a wide range of temperature6. Be harmless to the skin and the surface to be cleaned7. Be easy to rinse away8.

Do’s
1. Dilute as per manufacture’s recommendations2. Use right detergent for surface to be cleaned3. Use protective gloves when using strong detergents4. Dissolve the detergent thoroughly before use.5. Rinse away all traces of detergent from the surface and any cleaning
