Answer
When washing soda or soda ash is added to hard water, the corresponding insoluble carbonates settle down and can be removed by filtration. $\mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{HCO}_3\right)_2+\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3 \xrightarrow{\text { boil }} \mathrm{CaCO}_3 \downarrow+2 \mathrm{NaHCO}_3$ $\mathrm{Mg}\left(\mathrm{HCO}_3\right)_2+\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3 \xrightarrow{\text { boil }} \mathrm{MgCO}_3 \downarrow+2 \mathrm{NaHCO}_3$
