According to the EPA, Calcium Chloride does not bind soil particles together. It does draw moisture out of the air. It is corrosive to the equipment used to apply it, but after it is integrated into the soil, it's corrosiveness is greatly reduced.
Detergent works by reducing the surface tension of water, making it easier to soak in to the dirt rather than running off.
