39. •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.

40. •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.

42. The 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 Synthetic 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 Detergent
1. 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.

43. Powdered Detergents
Pro: 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 Detergent
Pro: 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 tension
2. Emulsifying action –
• The grease gets attracted, trapped and gets removed from the fabric
3. 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.

Alkaline 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
