Water softening is achieved either by adding chemicals that form insoluble precipitates or by ion exchange. On a small scale, chemicals used for softening include ammonia, borax, calcium hydroxide (slaked lime), or trisodium phosphate, usually in conjunction with sodium carbonate (soda ash).

Explanation:
Detergent is the sodium salt of a long chain benzene sulphonic acid (or the sodium salt of a long chain of alkyl hydrogen sulfate), which repels the Ca2+ or Mg2+ ions. When added to water, they don't produce insoluble precipitates, and therefore dissolve easily in the hard water
