HEY HERE IS YOUR ANSWER...
Cleansing action of Soaps and detergents. Most of the dirt is oily in nature and oil does not dissolve in water. The molecule of soapconstitutes sodium or potassium salts of long chain carboxylic acids. In the case of soaps, the carbon chain dissolves in oil and the ionic end dissolves in water...
Micelles in soap..
When greasy dirt or oil is mixed with soapy water, the soap molecules arrange themselves into tiny clusters called micelles. The water-loving (hydrophilic) part of the soapmolecules sticks to the water and points outwards, forming the outer surface of the micelle.
HOPE IT'S HELPFUL

Soap is made of sodium ions which consists of Hydrophilic end and Hydrophobic end. Hydrophilic is attracted to water whereas hydrophobic end is repellent of water so it gets attracted to oil droplets or grease or dirt. This results in the formation of micelles. Thus the dirt suspended in micelles is easily rinsed away.
