Explanation: Water has a "skin" called surface tension. This is a force on surface of water which pulls it inwards. Soap or dishwashing liquid breaks down surface tension and stops skin from forming. This stops water sticking together in drops and so it flows more easily into all places where dirt collects.

One Month before Prom:

___Prom Tickets - Purchase your tickets or make sure that your date has purchased them. ___Hair and Nails - Make appointment to have your hair and nails done. Find an experienced beautician to do your hair. Ask to see photos of other formal prom hairstyles that he/she has done. If they can’t show you photos find someone else. ___Make Final Plans - Make plans with your date or friends for before and after Prom activities.
