Soap is normally long fatty acid chain with sodium ions at its
end. When you rub soap it generates electrostatic charge which attracts
dirt.
Detergents are normally chemicals that dissolve dirt, which is why
it is not rubbed on the cloth
Soaps fall into the category of “surfactants” they reduce the
surface tension of water making oil/dirt is easily removed from the surface of
the cloth and drained by water. Soap is made from natural products like fat
alkaline in nature PH between 9-10 known as neutral cleanser.
Detergents are made from petroleum products and alcohols mixed
with synthetic artificial fragrances to make them more appealing. They stick to
dirt, oil, grease, very firmly and pull them into water. So no need to rub them
making it very effective
Soap has comparatively weaker cleansing action than detergents
Soap cannot be used in hard water while detergent can.
Soap are bio-degradable (easily decomposed) while detergents are
not.
Detergents are more soluble in water than soap.
