Title: (or description)[edit | edit source]

How Soap Works on Coronaviruses: How soap works to kill enveloped viruses like the coronavirus causing COVID-19. "When you wash your hands with soap and water, you surround any microorganisms on your skin with soap molecules. The hydrophobic tails of the free-floating soap molecules attempt to evade water; in the process, they wedge themselves into the lipid envelopes of certain microbes and viruses, prying them apart." - Ferris Jabr, New York Times
