From http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem99/chem99106.htm

Water is a polar molecule -- that is, electronic charges are localized on specific atoms. Oil is a non-polar molecule -- electronic charges are de-localized over all atoms. Water dissolves other polar molecules and oil dissolves other non-polar molecules but water does not dissolve oil (and vice-versa). Soap molecules are large. At one end they behave like polar molecules (electronic charges are isolated) and at the other end they behave like non-polar molecules (electronic charges are de-localized).

The answer of this fine question is salt mixed with soap. It is so because salt contains minerals that blend with soaps magnificent cleaning power,together they are splendid. It is just like the operation of unslipping your driveway with salt, except for your clothes. Grease on your face causing pimples, can be cured with soap and water. Together they will clean that grease, and the world.
