It's not typically harmful to humans, although you may want to avoid cooking your beans in hard water. These minerals can also make cleaning more of a struggle. Soap reacts the way you want it to in soft water.

If you're having trouble restoring cloudy glassware, using vinegar in your dishwasher can make wine glasses and drinking glasses look like new once again. Distilled white vinegar is a powerhouse cleaning agent. It can be used to eliminate odors and kill germs, clean your dishwasher filter, and restore cloudy glasses. Simply fill an eight-ounce, dishwasher-safe cup or mug with cleaning vinegar. Place it right-side-up in the top rack of your dishwasher.
