how do detergents clean?

detergents are long Hydrocarbon chains with a polar head on one end.  These long chains (the polar heads) are attracted to the polar side of the fatty acids that make up stains.  The dirt will bond to the detergent instead of the clothes and is washed away in the water.

The best way to clean a LCD monitor is with a mix of rubbing alcohol and water. Use a ratio of 80/20 - 80 percent water and 20 percent alcohol. Use a soft cloth, lint-free. Do not use paper towels or paper products, they will leave lint all over the screen. Do not spray the liquid directly on the screen put it on the cloth and wipe the screen gently. The LCD screen is very sensitive and prone to scratches. Do the cleaning with the monitor off or else you could damage the pixels.

Purchase the throw away type, if not, wash with detergent with clorox and then wash again with a milder soap.

actually its the friction that removes the germs not the soap.the soap binds with oils,grease and dead skin cells to remove them.

USadvanage wonder cleaner, or an equivalent citrus cleaner should work.

In the 1920s, Americans used soap flakes to clean their laundry. The flakes performed poorly in hard water, leaving a ring in the washing machine, dulling colors, and turning whites gray. Procter & Gamble began an ambitious mission to change the way Americans washed their clothes. Researchers discovered two-part molecules which they called synthetic surfactants. Each part of the "miracle molecules" executed a specific function--one pulled grease and dirt from the clothes, while the other suspended dirt until it could be rinsed away. In 1933, this discovery was introduced in a detergent called "Dreft," but it could only handle lightly soiled jobs. The next goal was to create a detergent that could clean heavily soiled clothes. That detergent was Tide®. \n\nCreated in 1943, Tide detergent was the combination of synthetic surfactants and "builders." The builders helped the synthetic surfactants penetrate the clothes more deeply to attack greasy, difficult stains. Tide was introduced to test markets in October 1946 as the world’s first heavy-duty detergent. Consumer response was immediate and intense. Tide detergent outsold every other brand within weeks. It became so popular that store owners were forced to limit the quantity purchased per customer. \n\nTide detergent was improved 22 times during its first 21 years on the market, and Procter & Gable still strives for perfection. Each year, researchers duplicate the mineral content of water from all parts of the United States and wash 50,000 loads of laundry to test Tide detergent’s consistency and performance.

Baking soda cleans surfaces really well.

I clean mine with laundry detergent and a brush using the garden hose. After calling a game, spray it with Fabreeze, but let it dry out before you put it in yor bag.

"Detergent molecules have two very different parts--a polar or ionic part, such as a sulfonate group, and a non-polar part, consisting of a long hydrocarbon chain. (In the case of soap, a type of detergent, the polar group is carboxylate.) The polar part of the molecule is hydrophilic, meaning that it is attracted to water. The nonpolar part is hydrophobic,  meaning that it is repelled by water."\n"When you introduce detergent molecules into water, the hydrophobic groups change the structure of the water and interfere with hydrogen bonding between the water molecules. Consequently, the hydrophobic groups are expelled to the surface of the water, where the detergent molecules are oriented with their hydrophilic ends in the water and their hydrophobic groups away from it. For this reason, molecules such as detergents are often called surfactants,  or surface active agents. The replacement of water molecules by detergent molecules results in a decrease in the surface tension of water."\n\nThe source isn't the best type in the world, but the facts seem to be efficient and surprisingly accurate.

Automated cleaning of everything. Push a button and your bathroom is sparkling. Push another button and your kitchen is free of grease and spots from top to bottom, including the floor. Push another button and your bed is made.

Eat TONS and TONS of fiber.  Buy some at your pharmacy, eat lots of cereal, stay away from processed foods made completely of white flour.\n\nFiber, fiber, fiber will clear things out ... the more you eat, the quicker and more thorough the cleaning ...

Enzymes function optimally in detergents at temperatures of 20 - 60C and within a pH range of pH 7.5 - 10.5\n\nEnzymes used in detergents are protein catalysts that consist of long chains of amino acids. They are similar to protein catalysts present in all living cells where they control metabolic processes, convert food nutrients to simple molecules, convert these molecules to energy and to new cell material. As catalysts; enzymes speed up specific chemical reactions, in mild conditions of temperature and pH, without being altered or consumed in the process. Consequently, small quantities of enzyme can repeatedly catalyze the break down of millions of molecules in minutes.

The best thing to use to clean spots without leaving a residue that actually attracts more dirt is plain old CLUB SODA. Pour it on, let it sit a few minutes, and then soak up excess liquid with a clean dry cotton cloth.  For most stains you shouldn't even have to rub at all.  I have used it and it works.

Bleach and they actually wash them often.LOL

tide is the best brand. it may cost much but the soap is concentrated so just a little amount can make your clothes clean and smelling pretty.

Washing normally removes impurities.  If you're using a separatory funnel to separate the aqueous layer from an organic layer, then you wash several times with water to make sure you have removed all ions, polar catalysts or reagents, etc.
