When a liquid dries into a solid, why are the edges harder to scrub away than the middle? 171 viewsJanuary 3, 2024 Question92.27K April 1, 2022 0 Comments Let’s say you spill some tomato soup on your counter. It dries. You go to wipe it away after it dries, and the center wipes away easily, but the edges stick and need additional scrubbing to get out. I’ve seen it with other hardened liquids, too. Why?
