What is a Surfactant?

A surfactant is a substance that reduces the surface tension of a liquid, allowing it to spread more easily and mix more readily with other substances. 

How is a surfactant used in soft washing?

In soft washing, surfactants are typically used as part of a cleaning solution that is applied to the surface that is being cleaned. The surfactant helps to break up dirt and grime, making it easier for the solution to penetrate the surface and lift away the unwanted substances. Additionally, surfactants can help to prevent the cleaning solution from drying too quickly, which can cause streaking and leave behind residue. By using a surfactant as part of the cleaning solution, soft washing can be more effective at removing dirt and grime from surfaces, without damaging the surface itself.
