The advantages of synthetic detergents over soaps are :

  1. 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.
  2. Synthetic detergents can be used in the acidic medium while soaps fail to do so because of their hydrolysis to free acids.
  3. Synthetic detergents are soluble in water and hence form more lather than soaps.
  4. Synthetic detergents have a better cleansing action than soaps.
  5. Detergents do not cause irritation to the skin while soaps have this problem.
