How does soap clean surfaces?

Asked by Wiki User

Soap is the organic salt 'Sodium palmate'/stearate. This substance has an ionic bond between the sodium ion and the palmate/stearate.

This ioinic bond makes it water soluble.

The palmate or stearate is a long organic chain , making it miscible with organic oils and fats etc., So it will absorb oil, fat, grease, etc.

As humans our skin contains natural oils. If we do not wash for a lomg period , these oils accumalate, and we fell 'dirty'.

So we lather the soap in water to dissolve the block/tablet. . Then we wash the lather on our skin and the long organic chain in the lather, absorbs the oils on our skin, making us feel clean.
