What can soaps be combined with to create a more effective product?

Oils
Detergents
Alcohols
Acids

The correct answer is: Detergents

Soaps can be effectively combined with detergents to enhance their cleaning properties. Detergents are synthetic cleansing agents that possess surfactant properties, which help to break down and remove dirt and oil more effectively than soap alone. When combined with soaps, detergents can improve lathering and cleaning efficiency, especially in hard water conditions where soaps may not perform as well due to the formation of soap scum. This combination can lead to a product that is more versatile and effective for various cleansing tasks, making it suitable for a broader range of applications in both personal and household cleaning products.
