Detergents are produced according to the job they had to do for either cleaning the dishes or clothes. Their formulas are different and the substances they have are also different that is the reason we have a variety of detergents in the market to choose according to our requirements.
Whenever we go to market, we find different detergents that have different functions labeled on them. The difference in every detergent or dish liquid or dish soap or anything that we use to wash clothes or dishes is the formula with which they are made.
