Answer:
Cleansing Action of Soaps and Detergents. Most of the dirt is oily in nature and oil does not dissolve in water. The molecule of soap constitutes sodium or potassium salts of long-chain carboxylic acids. In the case of soaps, the carbon chain dissolves in oil and the ionic end dissolves in water.

Answer:
detergents have a good cleansing action as compared to soaps. when soaps react with calcium and magnesium ions present in hard water they form scum. which makes difficult for soaps to clean dirt. but detergents do not form scum thus there is no difficulty to perform their cleansing action.
