State the principle on which cleansing action of soap is based

  The principle of cleansing action is based on the following principles:

1.Dissolution of soap in water and formation of soap micelles.

2. Its hydrophobic end attract towards dirt and grease while the hydrophillic ends remain separated in water by the action of ion repulsion.

3. After rinsing of clothes these micelles get out of the clothes along with the water.

Please Note---> Due to micelles soap watery becomes a cloudy solution because micelles are quite big to disperse light

hope you got it ....

this is not my own answer .....but this was given by lolllyppoply_amiable .....so if thumbs ups ....then give her...

The basic principle involved in the cleansing action of the soap is the formation of micelles due to the presence of hydrophobic and hydrophobic part in the soap molecules.

the principle on which the cleansing action of soap is based on is due the orientation of the hydrophobic and hydrophillic end.
