Detergent works by reducing the surface tension of water, allowing it to penetrate and break down oil and grease on surfaces. The molecules in detergent have two distinct ends - one end is attracted to water, while the other is attracted to oil and grease, helping to lift and remove them from surfaces when agitated.
