Tips to Make Your Laundry Softer

No one likes seeing their favorite shirt come out of the laundry feeling stiff and hard. How frustrating is that? Don't let your water ruin your clothes! Calcium and Magnesium in your water can cause your laundry to become stiff or hard. A Culligan Water Softener at the Lake of the Ozarks will not only make your water softer but also reduce your detergent use. Let your Culligan Man recommend which water softener is right for your home! Keep reading for tips to make your laundry softer.

Tips to Make Your Laundry Softer

Try Baking Soda.

Baking soda can help make your clothes feel softer by loosening up the fibers. It can also eliminate any weird odors that may have occurred from clothes that were left wet for too long.

Use Less Detergent

If your clothes are still you could also be using too much detergent. The soap residue could be building up, so use less.

Wash fewer clothes at a time.

If you overload your washer, it could malfunction and not have enough room to rinse out all the dirt and detergent from your clothes. Then once you put them in the dryer, there may not be enough air to properly soften your clothes.

Avoid mixing soiled and clean clothes.

Just because you wore something only one time, don't assume it's still clean. Smell it. If it smells weird, don't put it back in your dresser or closet with your clean clothes. Avoiding this bad habit could help keep your clothes soft longer.

Get a Culligan Water Softener!

Culligan High Efficiency Water Softeners

Hard water is the result of a mineral buildup in your city or well water, most commonly from calcium and lime. Hard water can reduce the quality of water in your home and may also be driving up your water bills, cleaning costs and more. The signs of hard water are not always obvious but can have detrimental effects on your home. Hard water can cause a corrosive build of scale from mineral deposits in your pipes. Over time, your pipes can clog, water flow can diminish and water pressure will be reduced. With a Culligan High Efficiency Water Softener, you'll have the world's most efficient water softener that saves you up to 46% on operating costs including energy, water, and cleaning products as well as soaps and detergents. It's the Lake of the Ozarks preferred choice!

Benefits:

Slashing your salt, water and electricity costs
Allowing you to control your softener from anywhere in the house
Provide customizable water softness
Automatically alerting your Lake of the Ozarks Culligan Man when it’s due for periodic maintenance
Let you know how long your salt will last
Provides benefits such as shinier hair, brighter clothes, and cleaner skin
Extends the life of all your household appliances by stopping the effects of corrosion

You Need a Culligan Water Softener!

What is a water softener? Why do I need one? Is it worth it? If you’ve asked yourself any of these questions, then this blog is for you! Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to tell you about all the benefits of having a water softener in your home, and why you should choose the best water provider at the Lake of the Ozarks. If you’re interested in having a water softener installed, call us at (573) 346-5221 or read on for the answers to all your questions!

What is a water softener?

Most of us get our water via a public water company or by a well on your property. These water sources typically contain minerals that make the water “hard.” A water softener is a device that removes certain minerals from your water to soften the hard water and reduces mineral buildup in your pipes. Your local Culligan water expert offers range of water softener products that fits your needs, wallet and for every size of household.

Why do I need one?

Water softeners do much more than just break down mineral buildup - having a quality water softener visibly affects several aspects of you and your family’s life. Though the signs of hard water are not always obvious, they can have detrimental effects on your home and your family. Hard water can leave spots on your glassware and make your glasses cloudy, even when they come straight out of the dishwasher.

Softer water helps soap scum and lime break down around your sink and shower drains and faucets. Not only does the buildup look bad, hard water is harmful for your pipes and fixtures. Softer water can extend the life of your appliances by stopping the effects of corrosion. Hard water can also clog your pores when washing your hands. Without a water softener, your skin can become dry and itchy and your hair can become brittle and damaged.

The same thing can happen to your clothes in the washer - Your laundry can become stiff and hard due to excessive calcium and magnesium in your water. By using a water softener, you will also be able to reduce your detergent use, saving some serious dollars. Now, you have the chance to provide you and your family the highest quality of life possible with a Culligan water softener. Why wouldn’t you want cleaner dishes, shinier hair and brighter clothes?

Is it worth it?

By removing these harsh minerals, you are not only saving you and your family daily hassles, but you’re also SAVING MONEY! The Culligan® High Efficiency Water Softener is the most efficient water softener on the market. With your brand new water softener, you’ll save more money on water, salt, and electricity with patented smart technology. Our HE softeners are nearly 50% more efficient than other typical time clock regeneration softeners and use up to 50% less salt.

Tired of walking all the way down to the basement or crawlspace to make minor adjustments on your water softener? Try controlling your softener from anywhere in the house! Our intelligent remote display on our Culligan® High Efficiency Water Softener alerts you to any issues and allows you to remotely make various adjustments. Our Dial-a-Softness® control function allows you to adjust your water softness to your ideal level, never too hard or too soft. With all these intelligent functions, it seems like a no-brainer to us!

Not sure when to call your local Culligan Man? With your new water softener, our Aqua-Sensor® technology automatically detects changes in your water conditions and makes softening adjustments accordingly. When it’s time for periodic maintenance, an optional modem will alert your Lake of the Ozarks Culligan Man! So no need to worry about making any appointments.

Hopefully, now your only question is, “When can I get my water softener?!” There are plenty of benefits to having a water softener in your home, and Culligan at theLake of the Ozarks is here to provide you with the best equipment. We’ve been serving the Lake area since 1975, so we know what we’re doing when it comes to high-quality water. Our primary focus here at the Lake of the Ozarks is customer satisfaction, so don’t hesitate to reach out to your local Culligan Man!

5 Tips and Tricks to Jazz Up Your Coffee

For many people, having "a nice cup of joe" is how they start their day. This is how they jumpstart their morning and get their selves ready to "conquer their daily obligations." We think it's safe to say that coffee is thought of as a required daily beverage for some people, but what can make your coffee taste even better? The best water provider at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to give you a few tips and tricks to jazz up your coffee. If you really want to make your coffee taste better, call Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks. Just the simple change of water could be the solution you've been searching for.

5 Tips and Tricks to Jazz Up Your Coffee

Add butter

It is known that adding butter to your morning dose of coffee can boost energy and give you a unique taste to enjoy.

Add maple syrup.

If you are more of a sweet coffee drinker, try adding maple syrup or maple sugar. Stir it in and enjoy your sweet, delicious cup of coffee.

Add coconut milk.

If you are lactose intolerant but would like to still sweeten up your coffee somehow, try adding coconut milk. The texture can be fairly close to whole milk, just use it sparingly as it can contain a hefty amount of fat. Coconut milk also provides a good amount of Vitamin C, E, and B.

Add vanilla extract.

Many people prefer sweet coffee, but if you'd prefer to try something different than the traditional dose of creamer and sugar, consider vanilla extract.

Add ice cream.

Who doesn't love ice cream? While it may sound unconventional to add ice cream to your coffee, this can be a great way to cool it down on a warm day and turn it into a fun, dessert drink.

Make Your Coffee Taste Better with Culligan Water!

Culligan® water treatment systems change everything - from laundry and showering to drinking and cooking. Having quality water in your home can make all the difference when making your coffee. While Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks has been solving the area's toughest water problems for over four decades, we have the support of Culligan International that actually invented the water softening process in 1936. Together, you can count on us for the finest water treatment equipment and service. Culligan’s only business is water treatment.
