Washing apples with soapy water will actually remove the natural coatings that protect the apple from outside things that want to eat it such as mold or bacteria. If you need to wash apples they should be washed in a salty bath and not rinsed off. The salt will act as a barrier to the hungry intruders that want to rot it away and won't leave a soapy taste in your mouth when you decide to eat the apple yourself.

What water takes the longest to evaporate dirty water soapy water or regular water?

The answer would depend on the ability of the water molecules to escape into the surrounding atmosphere. So what would help them escape? Dirty water would warm up in the sun faster, so you'd have a higher temperature and faster evaporation. The soapy water would bring oil to the surface and hinder the escape of the water molecules. So the order of which takes the longest would be: 1) soapy water, 2)regular water, 3)dirty water.

Does sugar dissolve quicker in salt water or soapy water?

Sugar would dissolve faster in soapy water. Sugar dissolving is actually the sugar molecules bonding with the water molecules. In salt water, sodium has already bonded with the water molecules, leaving no room for more bonding with sugar molecules. Soap, on the other hand, is a very mild base. It isn't so much a bonded element with water as it is a mixture. All of the water molecules are still available for bonding with sugar.
