How does laundry detergent work on grease?

Answer:
Laundry and dish detergents, "dissolve" grease through a process known as emulsification. The two liquids (water and grease) do not become a true solution, but become suspended in each other in tiny droplets in a mixture known as an emulsion. The grease can then be rinsed away with the water.
