Answer / kurt heller

it contains sodiomion and a long fatty acid chain with a
negative charge

the effect as a soup comes from the fatty acid, it binds to
the dirt on our clothes

dirt and fatty acids are both apolar - so they bind well,
because the fatty acids are water soluble, the dirt will be
removed from our clothes!

dirt are apolar in nature, so it is insoluble in water
