Description

Sometime in the last 24 hours, most of you have used soap or detergent, either directly or indirectly. 


Soap, like many other things, was most likely discovered by accident thousands of years ago. 


Fast forward to today, and these products are used for cleaning almost everything, from our bodies to cars to dishes. 


Soaps and detergents, despite being similar products that serve similar purposes, approach their tasks slightly differently and are used in different circumstances.


Learn more about soap and detergent, how they were developed, and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
