About this document
Soap vs. Detergent Cleansing Study by Abdul Manaf is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Detergent is more effective than soap at removing grease from fabrics in hard water. Soap forms insoluble precipitates with calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, whereas detergent forms strong bonds that prevent precipitate formation. An experiment is proposed to compare the cleansing ability of detergent and soap in hard water by adding each to a basin containing a greasy fabric and observing which agent removes more grease through agitation.
