If it is, and if you use a carbonate type non-phosphate detergent, you will most probably notice limestone* deposits on your clothes and washer surfaces. The hardness of your water and your washing frequency will determine how rapidly the limestone will build up.
How to Partially Restore Clothes Once clothes have developed limestone deposits, they may be partially restored by soaking in a solution of two cups (480 ml) of vinegar in one gallon (3.8 liters) of hot tap water for 15 minutes. USE A PLAS~C CO~~R. Then wash clothes in the washer using detergent.
