be called detergents?
Yes, depending on context. If you were discussing cleaning materials
to be ADDED TO water, then of course you wouldn't count the water
itself as a detergent. However, if you were comparing various
substances as cleaners, among them water, then you would count the
water as a detergent.
Ok - let's take this one step further.
I clean grease and crap from tractor/auto parts with gasoline and
diesel fuel. Depending on the definition, would those also be
considered detergents?
