Soap molecules have one end that is attracted to water (hydrophilic) and another end that is attracted to fats and oils (hydrophobic). When soap is added to a fat stain, the hydrophobic end attaches to the fat molecules, while the hydrophilic end binds to water, allowing the fat molecules to be lifted off the fabric and rinsed away with water.
