● Cleansing action of soap :

Washing/Cleansing effect of soap is due to the emulsification of grease and taking it away in the water along with dirt or dust present on grease.

■ Explanation :

The cleaning action of soap can be explained on the basis that a soap molecule contains a non-polar hydrophobic group/part and a polar hydrophilic group/part.

The dirt is held on the surface of clothes of clothes by the oil or grease which is present there. When soap is applied, the non-polar alkyl group dissolves in oil droplets while the polar —\bold{COO^-Na^+} group dissolves in water.

In this way, each oil droplet is surrounded by a negative charge. These negatively charged oil droplets cannot aggregate and a stable emulsion is formed. These oil droplets (containing dirt particles) can be washed away with water along with the dirt particles.
