Unlike soaps, detergents have the ability to carry away any contaminants that are removed from the surface of a fabric. This is still only a surface clean and will not typically remove any staining or contaminants that have been absorbed into the fibers of a fabric. Detergents also have no ability to remove contaminants from the pores of a breathable moisture barrier.
