Answer 1

Answer:

Soaps are derived from natural ingredients like oils of plants and animal fats, while detergents are synthetically prepared.

The advantage of detergents over soaps is that detergents work more effective in hard waters, are more soluble in water, and are prepared to be biodegradable. And since they are generally massed prepared, it's cost is less than soap

But soap too has some advantage over detergents. Soaps are prepared from natural ingredients, so they are biodegradable. But detergents have to be prepared such a way that they are biodegradable.
