Question
How does soap clean clothes?
Answer in Brief
Solution
- We are using wash powder to remove strong stains on the clothes.
- The detergent molecules have two sides, one side “water-loving”, the other “water-hating”.
- Water hating goes and joins with dirt and oil in the cloth while the water-loving joins with the water molecules.
- When you agitate the cloth the dirt is surrounded by many molecules and is taken away from the cloth.
- The cloth becomes clean, and the dirt surrounded by the detergent molecules floats in the water making it dirty.
