The Missing Piece in Your Laundry Routine
If you've lived in Florida for any amount of time, you've probably noticed that your laundry doesn't seem to come out the way it should. Whites look dull, colors lose their pop, and no matter how much detergent you use, something still feels off.
But that's not your washer's fault. It's the water.
Florida's water tends to carry higher mineral levels than many homeowners realize, and those minerals get in the way of a good clean. Over time, you end up spending more on detergent, replacing clothes sooner than you'd like, and still never getting that result you're after.
Florida Energy Water & Air has been helping families across the state tackle these everyday challenges since 1989. Our RainSoft CleanStart Laundry System is one of the most effective tools in our lineup, and it was built with exactly these kinds of frustrations in mind.
Inside the RainSoft CleanStart System
CleanStart is a water treatment system that connects directly to your washing machine. It doesn't replace your washer or require you to change how you do laundry. It gets the water itself working harder, so your washer doesn't have to.
Before each cycle begins, CleanStart treats the incoming water to better equip it to lift dirt, oils, and residue from your clothes. The result is a deeper wash achieved the right way, with water that pulls its weight instead of relying on extra detergent to compensate.
The Upgrade You’ll Feel in Every Load
It's easy to assume detergent is doing all the heavy lifting. But water quality plays just as big a role, and in most cases, it's quietly working against you. CleanStart changes that:
Cleaner Clothes, Same Washer
Mineral-heavy water doesn't penetrate fabric as well as it should. Treated water does. That means your washer can actually remove the dirt and oil that regular water leaves behind.
Most families notice the difference within just a few washes, including brighter whites, truer colors, and fewer stains making it to the second wash.
Good News for Your Grocery List
Here's one of the biggest perks of CleanStart: most loads can be done with little to no detergent. That adds up quickly in terms of monthly savings, and your clothes benefit too. Fabrics that aren't constantly soaked in strong detergent tend to stay softer and hold up much longer.
No More Mystery Odors
The rinsing stage matters more than people think. CleanStart helps flush out leftover soap, minerals, and odor-causing residue more thoroughly, which keeps your laundry smelling fresh.
If you've ever pulled towels out of the wash and noticed they still smell a little musty, it’s often because of this.
Is CleanStart the Right Fit for Your Home?
Not every home has the same water, and not every household has the same laundry demands. But CleanStart tends to be a great fit if any of these sound familiar:
Your home has hard or mineral-rich water.
Your household runs multiple loads of laundry each week.
You'd like to cut back on chemical use.
You already have a RainSoft system and want to extend those benefits to your laundry.
Many homeowners assume that worn-out fabrics and rising detergent costs are just part of life in Florida. But they don't have to be. CleanStart is for homeowners who are ready to address the actual problem.
Made for the Realities of Florida
Water in the Sunshine State presents challenges that homeowners in other states simply don't face to the same degree. That local knowledge is something you just can't get from a national provider who's never seen Florida water up close.

From what I saw in the beginning and the end, there was a huge difference. It was a job well done. It worth my time and money. And everyone should give it a try.
Excellent company, thorough, responsive, and all around amazing!! I'm so happy with my new A/C unit, attic turbine, and solar hot water heater. It has already saved me money on my electric bill.
The experience with all aspects from the presentation to installation and inspection was great. Glenn who presented was kind, informative and extremely helpful in finding the right system for us. The installer Robinson was extremely professional with the installation did a great job and John was also great in explaining the finance and perks!! Overall 10/10
This company worked very hard to remove my very old water heater. They did an excellent job installing my new one. Very professional, and kind. Willing to answer my questions also. Thank you.
Tony, the technician/plumber from Florida Energy Water & Air, was most pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. He arrived on completed the replacement of very old water heater including nearly 100% disappearance of the "knocking noise" in less than an hour, and cleaned up the work area very nicely at the end. I highly recommend his and FEWA to anyone needing these kind of services. Thanks Tony!
Great customer service. Jean Amaro was especially helpful and took care of my issues and concerns personally. Technicians were friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend their services.
