Kerosene is a solvent that effectively breaks down the chemical bonds in paint, making it easier to remove. Water is not as effective at breaking down these bonds, so kerosene is a better choice for paint removal.

Is detergent powder soluble in kerosene?

Detergent powder is generally not soluble in kerosene, as it is primarily formulated to dissolve in water. Kerosene is a hydrocarbon solvent, and most detergent powders contain surfactants that are designed to interact with water molecules rather than non-polar substances like kerosene. As a result, while some components may disperse, the detergent will not fully dissolve in kerosene.

Why can't water remove paint?

Water alone typically cannot remove paint because many types of paint are designed to be water-resistant or waterproof, especially when dried. Additionally, paint forms a strong bond with surfaces, making it difficult for water to penetrate and dissolve it. Solvents or chemical paint removers are often required to break down the paint's structure effectively. However, water can help dilute or remove certain types of water-based paints if they are still wet.
