cleaning action of soap is due to the Micelle formation .in micelle head is ionic in nature and tail is made up of hydrocarbons . head of the micelle is hydrophilic in nature and tail of the micelle is hydrophilic in nature. such away that hydrophobic part is in the droplet and hydrophilic part project out. since the polar group interest with water surrounded by soap ions is pulled from surface and pulled into water.

The cleaning action of soap is due to micelle formation and emulsion formation. Inside water a unique orientation forms clusters of molecules in which the hydrophobic tails are in the interior of the cluster and the ionic ends on the surface of cluster. This results in the formation of micelle.Soap in the form of micelle cleans the (dirt) oil as the oil will be collected at the centre of micelle.This property of soap makes it an emulsifier. The dirt suspended in micelles is easily rinsed away. This is known as cleaning action of soap.
