Question

How does soap clean clothes. what is the reason for choosing detergent instead of air​

Answer 1

Answer:

soaps have two part one is hydrophilic (water loving) and another is hydrophobic(water hating).

these parts together form a micelle(i.e. spherical cluster of soap that helps in removing of dirt).

then we rinse the clothes by water..it remove that micelle then dirt from clothes get remove and become clean.

we prefer to choose detergent instead of soap because detergent also works well in hard water but soap is not effective in hard water.

hope this will help you

Answer 2

Detergent cleans by causing a chemical reaction with water to force dirt and debris out of clothing. Detergent work with water to loosen the dirt trapped in the material of clothing and clean them away
