If you drop a bar of soap on the ground... does the soap get dirty, or does the dirt get clean?

Answer 1

The soap gets dirty

Answer 2

Well, there would be soapy ground and groundy soap, the question is misleading. Where did the dirt come from? The premiss did not mention dirt, only ground and soap. what if it was smooth ground... And assuming soap added to something becomes clean does not sound right. If I have soap on my face, my face is not clean, right?
Also, how far is the ground? If the ground is a building high from the point of dropping the soap, then, there would be no more soap, just soapy ground.
....zzzz....

Answer 3

Dropped soap is disgusting. Sometimes grains of dirt get ground into the soap, so rinsing doesn't always do the trick. I suggest not dropping the soap on the ground.

Answer 4

Depends on the soap and the dirt. Whether the dirt has more germ power or soap has more clean power. At best the contact site is neutralized.

Answer 5

soap can't work by dropping alone, somebody should do something to make this thing work. If the ground is watery, soap melt or scatter but the dirt in the ground remains in place , just mix together with the melted soap.

Answer 6

Dirt would get on the soap . . . soap can't just make dirt and whatnot vanish, it just breaks up the particles, making the dirt easier to wash away with water.

Answer 7

the soap gets dirty as the dirt now sticks to the soap
dirt can't get cleaned. it only gets stuck to a newer surface.

Answer 8

Its relative..If the dirt is loose it will stick to the soap and make it dirty.

Answer 9

The soap, if moist obtains dirt.

Answer 10

depends....the dirt will always be dirt.....with or without soap.....just soap covered.....the soap gets dirty gets my vote.
