(2) By Ckark?s method

(3) By addition of washing soda

(4) For removal of permanent hardness following methods can
be employed.

(5) By calogen process

(6) By permutil process

(7) With ion- echange resins

Hard water cannot be used for washing purposes by using hard
water, large quantities of soap get washed in giving
precipitates with calcium and magnesium ions present in
