the cleaning action of soap and detergent...


1. The cleansing action of soap or detergent depends on their chemical bonding and

structures.


a) The ionic ‘head’ (negatively charged) is soluble in water (hydrophilic) but
insoluble in oily layer.
b) The long hydrocarbon ‘tail’ (neutral) is insoluble in water (hydrophobic) but
soluble in oily layer.


2. Oil cannot be washed away from clothing with water because oil (a covalent
molecult0 is insoluble in water.


3. Lifting greasy dirt from the surface cloth. When soap or detergent is added to the
dirty surface of a piece of cloth covered with a layer of oil or grease.
a) The negatively charged ‘head’ (hydrophilic) of soap ions or detergent ions
dissolves in water.
b) The hydrocarbon ‘tail’ (hydrophobic) of soap or detergent ions dissolves in
the layer of grease.


4. I the water is agitated slightly, the grease begins to be lifted off the surface. This
cause by the forces of attraction between the water molecules and the negatively
charged heads.



5. On further agitation during washing, the greasy dirt is lifted from the surface.


6. Emulsifying dirt in water
a) Soaps and detergents can act as emulsifying agents to emulsify oils and
grease.
b) The process of emulsification breaks large drops of grease into smaller
droplets that floats in water. The greasy droplets repel on another because
they carry the same charge. As a result, the grease is suspended in the
solution.
c) When the cloth is rinsed with the water, the droplet will be carried away.
d) The cleaning process become more efficient in the water containing the
soap or detergent solution is stirred

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

  2. I understand that stress can be an incentive for breakouts. My mouth and gums were all lesions and bumps and I was afraid to go out in public. All that helped was an anti-viral medicine taken orally. I thought it was a one-time deal; however, it has resurfaced unexpectedly and I am so let down. I have been looking into Ayurvedic oils like melaleuca and lavender oil for handling the outbreaks of this virus. I am over 30, and not happy. This led me to the search for a permanent cure for the Herpes Virus which has taken a toll on my health, When i came across Herbalist Razor Traditional Herbal Medicine, After seeing some reviews and visiting his website , i placed an order for his Traditional Herbal Medicine , which i applied for 18 days , I am so Glad and delighted to be finally cured of herpes Virus 1.
