What makes a mixture of soap or some other detergent and water such an effective cleaner? There may be more than one correct response. Select one or more: The detergent or soap raises the surface tension of the water, enabling it to wet the surface that needs cleaning. The detergent or soap reduces the surface tension of the water, enabling it to wet the surface that needs. cleaning. The detergent has a hydrophobic part that "grabs" the grease and a hydrophilic part that "holds on" to the water, enabling the dirt to be removed and held in the water, which can then be rinsed away. The detergent has a hydrophilic part that "grabs" the grease and a hydrophobic part that "holds on" to the water, enabling the dirt to be removed and held in the water, which can then be rinsed away.
