Cleansing action of Soaps and detergents. Most of the dirt is oily in nature and oil does not dissolve in water. The molecule of soap constitutes sodium or potassium salts of long chain carboxylic acids. Therefore, it forms an emulsion in water and helps in dissolving the dirt when we wash our clothes.

Ciao,soaps and detergents perform cleansing action because the polar part of their molecules are water soluble due to hydrogen bonding and non polar part remains outside the water ,because they are alkyl or benzyl portions and are insoluble in water .
hope it helps.stay blessed☺
