The cleansing action of detergent and soap is fundamentally the same

When a detergent dissolves in water, its molecule will dissociate to form sodium (or potassium) ion and detergent ion ( detergent anion )

The detergent ion (detergent anion ) such as R - O - SO3- can be represented in a simplified form such as structure below :
