Husband wants to know--How does dishsoap know how to cut grease??
Answers:
When you make soap you use Lye and fats. Lye wiil eat through anything and that is how it cuts the grease. The fat in the soap makes the lye suitable to handle with your bar hands after they have mixed properly.

okay
Soap is a type of chemical that bonds to the grease
as you run water to the grease the soap grabs on the grease and brings it down with it.
If you use hot water, heat speeds up the chemical, thus it washes the grease down faster than cold water
It doesn't "know". It's designed to react to grease particles and lift them away. It's like the oil/vinegar/water trick. None of them mix, but when you add in dish soap it pulls the oil away. It's neat!
It doesn't ... it just indiscriminately throws it's knives around and hopes like heck it hits the right thing.
Tell him to put down the drugs, dishsoap can't think.
But it cuts grease because its a solvent and it makes a chemical reaction to dissolve the grease.
It puts the lotion in the basket. Italways does as it's told.
it has to do with the chemistry of grease && soap.
dish soap is composed of molecules which are both polar at one end && nonpolar at the other. this unique structure allows it to stick the water(polar) && attract the grease(nonpolar).
think of it as if they were magnets...?
it has to do with the molecular structure of the soap. one end of the soap molecule interacts only with the water and the other one only with the grease.
