Soaps are useful for cleaning because soap molecules have both a hydrophilic end, which dissolves in
water, as well as a hydrophobic end, which is able to dissolve nonpolar grease molecules. Although grease
will normally adhere to skin or clothing, the soap molecules can form micelles which surround the grease
particles and allow them to be dissolved in water. Applied to a soiled surface, soapy water effectively holds
particles in colloidal suspension so it can be rinsed off with clean water. The hydrophobic portion (made up
of a long hydrocarbon chain) dissolves dirt and oils, while the ionic end dissolves in water. Therefore, it
allows water to remove normally-insoluble matter by emulsification. In other words, while normally oil and
water do not mix, the addition of soap allows oils to dissolve in water, allowing them to be rinsed away.
