    Detergents are mixtures that contain surfactants, which are substances that lower the surface tension of water. This allows water to more easily penetrate dirt and fabric to remove soil. Detergents are primarily used for cleaning surfaces and fabrics by helping water penetrate dirt. They can also remove stains, whiten, remove odors, and brighten. Surfactants are the active ingredients in detergents that allow them to interact with both water and dirt or oil.

    that is used primarily to remove dirt or soil from
    surface or fabric
    Detergents (also called syndets) contains surfactant
    Surfactants - (Surface Active Agent) substances
    that lowers the surface tension of water. With
    lower surface tension, water can easily
    penetrate dirt and fabric.
    Other functions of detergents are stain removal,
    whitening, odor removal, brightening
