Question

Can anyone explain the cleansing action of detergents

Answer 1

The cleansing action of soaps and detergents: The cleansing action of both soaps and detergents results from their ability to lower the surface tension of water, to emulsify oil or grease and to hold them in a suspension in water. ... The hydrocarbon chain, which is hydrophobic, is soluble in oils or grease.

Answer 2

$\huge\blue{Hola!!}$

Most of the dirt is very oily in nature. Oil also does not dissolve in water.Thus the soap molecules form structures called micelles.In micelles,the one end is toward the oil droplet and the other end is ionic faces outside.

Hope this Helps!
