No, not all the germs come off because there are billions and billions and even trillions of types of germs that can exist on a single doorknob, and if soap is applied, about only 99% of the germs go away because soap is not a killer of all the trillions of germs there are. There are some that are not affected by soap, and if soap is used to often, the germs get used to the soap and build up an immunity to it, therefore when you use soap to often, soap will eventually not affect the germs at all.
