This happens because the product absorbs components contained in hard water.

One should not forget about such a circumstance as skin particles getting onto the terry cloth.

Regular washing in most cases does not help to restore the former softness of things. The situation can only get worse due to washing powder.

The use of special products (for example, fabric softener) also does not always provide the desired result.
