Since detergents have long chain benzene sulphonic acid they form lather easily even with hard water and the cleaning will be good than soap.

The cleaning action of soap is very effective in soft water because it contains negligible calcium and magnesium ions. Synthetic detergents are used in the case of hard water also because the calcium and magnesium salts of detergents are soluble in water.
