Soap is a substance made from a combination of sodium hydroxide, water, and fatty acids which form a chemical reaction known as saponification. In homes, soap is used for different purposes.
It is used for washing of clothes, cleaning of the house, and bathing. Apart from these mentioned uses of soap, there are other ways soap is used. For instance, soap; when rubbed on a stiff door hinge and lock, can be used to stop the noisy sound and lubricate the lock. In addition, soapy water that is sudsy can be used to repel bugs. Furthermore, rubbing soap on your nails before gardening helps to prevent them from trapping dirt under them.
Soap generally is used to remove dirt. However, the role of soap is much more than the removal of dirt.
