to some of u this may be a dumb question ......i dont know..but here goes..we need to use distilled or soft water in the cp soap recipe........ does anyone think that you can just boil tap water for a bit and then use that when it cools???? or is it still different???
 
Boiling wouldn't take out the minerals so it wouldn't make a difference. I use distilled but I've seen a lot of posts and information around the internet that many people just use tap (some with soft, some with hard, some with city water, some with well, etc) with no problems.
 
I'm in the city,and my water is on the hard side but not as hard as a friend who is on well water. So I use tap water with no trouble so far, but I think I would avoid well water which is great drinking water but tons of minerals.
