Most of the dirt is oily in nature and oil doesn't dissolve in water.
the molecule of the soap constitutes sodium and potassium salts of long chain carboxylic acid.
In the case of soaps, the Carbon chain dissolves on oil and the ionic end dissolves in water to form micelles.
It forms emulsions in water and helps in removing the dirt from clothes, objects, etc.
hope it helps

<b><u>Cleansing action of soaps:

The dirt present on clothes is organic in nature and insoluble in water. Therefore, it cannot be removed by only washing with water. When soap is dissolved in water, its hydrophobic ends attach themselves to the dirt and remove it from the cloth. Then, the molecules of soap arrange themselves in micelle formation and trap the dirt at the centre of the cluster. These micelles remain suspended in the water. Hence, the dust particles are easily rinsed away by water.
