Are soaps and detergents biodegradable?
Most conventional soaps and detergents are biodegradable, as they break down into simpler compounds in the environment. However, some detergents may contain non-biodegradable or poorly biodegradable ingredients that can accumulate and persist in the environment. It is important to choose eco-friendly and biodegradable options to minimize environmental impact.
Detergents differ from soaps in that?
Detergents are synthetic surfactants while soaps are made from natural fats and oils. Detergents are more effective in hard water compared to soaps. Detergents do not form scum in hard water like soaps do.
Are phosphate soaps safe for the environment?
Ptorq's rule of thumb: nothing is "safe". There are always tradeoffs.There are environmental consequences of using phosphate detergents (I assume this is what you meant, rather than "soap"). So no, they aren't 100% safe.
What are the advantages of synthetic detergents over soap?
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.
Can you use soaps and synthetic detergents to check the hardness of water?
Yes, you can use soaps and synthetic detergents to check the hardness of water. Hard water forms insoluble scum when mixed with soap, while soft water produces lather easily. If soap forms scum rather than lather, the water is likely hard.
Why are most laundry products detergents instead of soaps?
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.

What are harmful effects of soaps and detergents?
Soaps are made from natural fats and oils and so are fully biodegradable. Detergents on the other hand are made from synthetic chemicals. These chemicals do not break down in the environment, and so they cause huge amount of pollution in our water ways- killing fish and water plants. This is due to the fact that detergents often contain phospahte salts that excelerate the growth of algae that deplete the oxygen content of the water. Detergents are often preferred over soap as they are more effective at cleaning and have a wider range of uses.
