Why are there so many soap products? Is there a real functional difference between household cleaning detergents?

For example, my grandma (old school depression-era penny pincher) used laundry detergent to wash her dishes. Can someone offer some guidelines for when you could/shouldn’t sub one type of household cleaning soap for another?

In all fairness, yes there is, but often, they will do just fine if you just need to clean.

Different soaps are meants to clean different things to different levels and with different regards for the materials, just like different scrubs work for different dishes, and an even more different one works for your skin.

Now, if we also include general cleaning products like window cleaners, please don’t use those to clean dishes or clothes, as they usually contain pretty toxic chemicals.
