**What is the Detergent?**
A detergent is a mixture used in cleaning tasks, which contains surfactant properties along with additional chemical substances. Unlike soaps, detergents can provide effective cleaning even in hard water. Detergents have the ability to bring together substances in different phases, such as water and oil, and perform cleaning by allowing dirt and oil to mix with water.
