My tap water is hard af and filtering helps with that. Also tastes slightly better and doesn't leave limescale stains after being filtered.

Limescale is magnesium and calcium... Hard tapwater is the best water for you.

For your washing machine, clothes, kitchenware though, not so great....

Here's the solution: use clear vinegar instead of fabric softener. It won't stink once it's dry. Promise.

You really shouldn't use fabric softener for things intended to absorb and transfer moisture at some point anyway (So almost all laundry). It is terrible for the moisture wicking abilities of fabrics.
