Soap is a kind of molecule in which both the ends have different properties.
Hydrophilic end
Hydrophobic end
The first one is the hydrophilic end which dissolves water and is attracted towards it whereas the second one is the hydrophobic end that is dissolved in hydrocarbons and is water repulsive in nature. If on the surface of the water, soap is present then the hydrophobic tail which is not soluble in water will align along the water surface.

When dirt gets deposited on the cloth or other things, we use soaps. Soap contains two ends-Hydrophobic and Hydrophyllic. it gets arranged in the form of micelle. and removes the dirt
