Hey
Here's your answer!!

Steam is usually made in boilers which are made up a number of narrow copper tubes surrounded by copper tubes surrounded by fire. As a cold water enters these tubes, it is immediately changed into steam, while the dissolved solids incapable of changing into vapour get deposited on the inner walls of the tube. This goes on and thus making the bore of the tubes narrower and narrower. The result is that less steam is produce.
When the bore of the tube becomes very narrow, the pressure of steam increases so much that at times the boiler itself bursts.
Not only that the boiler scales formed inside the tube being a bad conductor of heat allows only part of the outside heat to go in and convert the water into steam. This results in further loss of heat.
In hard water, soap lather is not formed which makes it unsuitable for washing.

So, the hardness of water render it to unfit for use in boiler and for washing purposes.

Hope it helps!!
