Washing principle of soap

Most of the dirt comes from dust in the air, soot, mineral oil, various animal and vegetable oils, and fat sweat secreted by the human body. These substances are mixed together and attached to human body and clothes, forming dirt.

Most of the dirt is insoluble in water, so it is difficult to wash it with clean water. Only soap can wash it off. Because after soap is dissolved in water, due to the movement of soap molecules in water, it forms obvious surface activity and adsorption performance, thus permeating between dirt, sludge and clothes, squeezing dirt out of fabric fibers and becoming tiny droplets. These droplets emulsified by soap solution exist in the solution. Due to the emulsification of soap, dirt can be prevented from gathering and redeposition on the fabric. Therefore, after rubbing and foaming, the dirt will be surrounded by the foam adsorption layer of soap, and will be washed away with the foam after rinsing, thus achieving the purpose of removing the dirt.
