Solution

Detergent
Detergents are cleaning chemical agents that have all of the qualities of soap but include no soap.
Because they produce foam even in hard water, these can be used in both soft and hard water.
Some detergents produce foam even in ice-cold water.
Disadvantage of detergent
Detergents are non-biodegradable, which is extremely harmful to the environment.
Some detergents contain too much alkali, which might damage the cloth.
More water rinses are required to remove the foam; else, the fabric will be damaged.
