 Detergents - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Detergents   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The common detergents are made from fats (hydrocarbons) and sulphuric acid, and their long-chain molecules have a type of structure similar to that of soap molecules: a salt group at one end attached to a long hydrocarbon ‘tail’.
They have the advantage over soap in that they do not produce scum by forming insoluble salts with the calcium and magnesium ions present in hard water.
To remove dirt, which is generally attached to materials by means of oil or grease, the hydrocarbon ‘tails’ (soluble in oil or grease) penetrate the oil or grease drops, while the ‘heads’ (soluble in water but insoluble in grease) remain in the water and, being salts, become ionized.

 BBC SPORT | COVENTRY CITY | Coventry's home and away soap opera
Coventry City's season was one of stark contrasts - brilliant at home and abysmal away.
Their 12 victories at Highfield Road in the Premiership indicated title-winning form, but not a single win on their travels meant they failed to get out of the bottom half at any time during the season.
Dreams of a prolonged FA Cup run ended at the hands of Charlton in round five, when City surrendered a two-goal lead, and that defeat seemed to trigger their slide.
