Q. What are the main types of detergents? How are they used?

Answer

The main types of detergents are detergent powders, detergent cakes, and liquid detergents. Powder and liquid detergents are mixed well in water by stirring with hands. Whereas detergent cakes are directly rubbed on the cloths by adding some water. The usage pattern may differ according to the specific requirements. For example, if a tough stain has to be removed a detergent cake comes handy in loosening the tough stains by creating additional foam in that particular spot. While for soaking cloths and creating uniform foam liquid and powder detergents are preferred.
