Soaps, detergents and shampoos are basic materials.
Most shampoos are made from detergents because they are more effective at removing dirt and oils from hair compared to soaps. Detergents also produce more foam and lather, which is desirable in shampoos. Additionally, detergents are pH balanced to be less harsh on the hair and scalp compared to traditional soaps.
Examples: soaps, shampoo, detergents, denatured alcohol etc.
Some uses of salt include: eating, manufacturing paper, setting dyes in textiles and fabrics, and producing soaps and detergents.
The advantages of synthetic detergents over soaps are :Synthetic detergents can be used even in case of hard water whereas soaps fail to do so. Unlike soaps, detergents do not form insoluble calcium and magnesium salts in hard water. They give lather in hard water also.Synthetic detergents can be used in the acidic medium while soaps fail to do so because of their hydrolysis to free acids.Synthetic detergents are soluble in water and hence form more lather than soaps.Synthetic detergents have a better cleansing action than soaps.Detergents do not cause irritation to the skin while soaps have this problem.
They are the same thing, just with differing names. Soaps are detergents and detergents are soaps. The names have become associated with their different uses. Soaps are now primarily used to refer to soaps/detergents used on the body, while detergents have comes to mean soaps/detergents used for things other than cleansing the body, such as dish detergents.
Synthetic detergents are effective in hard water and do not form scum like soaps. They have stronger cleaning power and are less prone to causing skin irritation compared to traditional soaps. Additionally, synthetic detergents can be easily formulated to target specific cleaning needs.
