My mother could have used that product when she lived in San Diego
county. She had horrible hard water that left her glassware cloudy.
I loved her water softener though. It made my hair sooo shiny and my
skin felt great too. We don't have a water softener here because our
municipal water is naturally soft... but it's not as soft as her water
softener made hers.

Did you find this Lemi-Shine site?
