Soap scum is calcium soap of fatty acids. It is the result of soap in hard water-- the fatty acids in soap bond with the calcium ions in hard water and create an insoluble compound.

Soap is a salt of carboxylic acid (fatty acid) in acidic medium soap forms the corresponding fatty acid which is almost insoluble in water so soap does not work properly.

The formation of a precipitate is a chemical change.
Mineral ions from hard water (generally calcium and magnesium) react with soap forming insoluble and diasagreeable precipitates.
It depends on the salt. A salt of calcium, magnesium, or iron will form an insoluble compound that will precipitate with a soap molecule that is known as soap scum. Here is a typical reaction: Ca2+(aq) + 2C17H35COO-(aq) ==> (C17H35COO-)2Ca2+(s) Sodium chloride will not form a precipitate with soap as long as the soap is a carboxylate.
Detergents such as soap solubilize the water-insoluble hydrophobic substances from the cloth while water solubilizes the water-soluble substances. Once the substances are solubilized, they can be washed away.
Lead sulfide is a black solution. It is insoluble in water and is a precipitate. The principle of the lead acetate test is the formation of lead sulfide.
