Fabric Softeners and Water Softeners ... what is difference?
Many people believe these two items are the same but not so ... fabric softeners and water softeners differ as follows ...
Fabric softeners make clothes fluffy and soft to the touch and they impart properties to garments that make them anti-static (they don't cling to your body). Fabric softeners do not remove anything from the water and fabric softeners are generally liquid
Water softeners remove calcium and magnesium components from hard water thereby making the hard water soft in the process.
