- Why do people use soaps and surfactants when washing?
People use soaps and surfactants in the attempt to clean and disinfect there body and clothes. Hot water has a limit on what it will or can clean. Dirt and other impure item can be easily removed. In some instances minimum scrubbing is required. Soap can also be used as a lubricant.
- How do soaps and surfactants work?
One end of the surfactant repels water but it is attracted to oil and soil. While doing that, the other end loves water. The two opposite ends work together. It is attracted to the dirt and pulls it off and leave it in the water, making the surface area clean.
- Name four different types of antibacterial products that you have encountered?
The Antibacterial products that I have used would be Mouthwash, hand soap, Hand Sanitizer, and Toothpaste. The Toothpaste is Colgate, Breck Liquid soap, Soap Mouthwash, and Purell Hand Sanitizer.
- Have you been compelled to buy antibacterial products over those without the antibacterial feature? Why or why not?
Yes I have, I come in contact with a lot of people and a lot of places in my profession. I have felt the need to make sure that I do not come in contact with any surfaces or contaminants that will get me sick.
