Listing ID #6797255

A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleansing properties when in dilute solutions. There are a large variety of detergents, a common family being the alkylbenzene sulfonates, which are soap-like compounds that are more soluble in hard water, because the polar sulfonate  is less likely than the polar carboxylate bind to calcium and other ions found in hard water.
