Most soaps contain sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids. These are water soluble compounds that help carry away oils and other water insoluble substances. Soap scum forms when these salts react with calcium and magnesium compound in the water. The newly formed calcium and magnesium salts are insoluble in water,and so forma coating on surfaces. This is more likely to happen if you have hard water, water rich in calcium and magnesium.
