lifehacker.com/cold-water-and-regular-soap-kills-germs-just-as-well-as-1488847107Pic related is how soap makes you clean. It's called a micelle. Soap molecules completely surround particles, isolating them, and then transport them into water, away from your skin. Micelles are drawn to water, not your skin, because of the polarity of water molecules. That polarity doesn't change based on the temperature of the water.
>>387283>it's not my problem. won't contaminate the water where i'm at so why would i careYou didn't read the sticky thread, did you? You ought to be banned twice; first, for ignoring the sticky, and second, for being an asshole. You are the reason people get sick in the backcountry. You are the reason people need to purify their water. Because you're too damn stupid to do shit the proper way.
