I have heard that softened water has an unnatural, slippery feeling. Is this true?

The water may feel soft compared to the hard water because it no longer has scum deposits from reaction with the soap, which then rubs into your skin.

Any slippery feeling you may experience can usually be traced to using too much soap. So it’s important to remember when you have a water softened fitted to reduce the amount of soap, detergent and cleaner you use by 50%.
