This means that they can effectively clean even in water that contains high levels of calcium and magnesium ions, which typically interfere with the cleaning action of soaps. 3. **Foaming Ability**: Synthetic detergents tend to produce a lot of foam when mixed with water. This foaming action helps in lifting dirt and grease from surfaces, making them more effective for cleaning purposes. ...
