Differences Between Handmade Soap
novelty soaps for kids, for instance, a soap bar
can have a teddy bear inside or be formed like a colored chalk
and used to draw on the bathtub. As with other types of soap,
you can buy novelty soaps or make your own.4
Difference between Soap and Detergents
There is a clear difference between these two
terms. Soap as mentioned is a natural fatty substance (called
fatty acids) which has been reacted with lye (sodium hydroxide).
A detergent is any type of cleaner which does not have soap as
its main ingredient. Soaps perform great in soft water, but are
not as successful as detergents in hard water. Detergents, on
the other hand, work wonderfully in both hard and soft water.
That's why you will discover only a few soaps and many detergents
on the grocery store shelves. Detergents also make more bubbles
(suds) than most soap. The general formula of detergent is R-C6H4-SO3-
Na+ (sodium alkyl benzene sulphonate). All these detergents
contain a polar group, -SO3Na, and a non-polar group R-C6H4-.
The first ingredient used in making detergents
is the compound propylene, CH3-CH=CH2, which used
to just be burnt off as waste by the fuel industry. Propylene
molecules are maneuvered to form a compound that will react with
sulfuric acid. Next, sodium hydroxide is added to neutralize the
sulfuric acid resulting in a sodium salt similar
to the one present in soap. In general, as soaps are a extra natural
product, they are used on the body, and detergents are used on
clothes. But detergents are the more common of the two and are
often used in mixture with natural soaps. Since the soap does
not rinse out as well as detergent, it tends to foster up on clothes,
and over a long period of time, causes the fabric to weaken while
leaving an odor. Another shortcoming of soap
