His ignorance is not helping his cause.

I`m not sure about that. `Surfactant` is just the ChemE word for the active ingredient in a soap or detergent that allows the dirt to combine temporarily with water and get washed out of whatever`s being washed. Different surfactants are formulated for different types of dirt and different types of surfaces. Not all surfactants are created equal. Machine dishwasher soap will take the lacquer off of wooden salad bowls (ask me how I know) for example. Hand dish washing soap won`t.

Dawn didn`t say exactly what surfactant they were using.
