Why is soap so effective at killing microorganisms?

— Washing with soap and water is an effective way to destroy and dislodge many microbes

Explanation:

Soap actually kill germs on our hands, it breaks them up and removes them .But soap molecules have two different ends to them. One end is attracted to water molecules – this is called hydrophilic– and the other end loves oil and fat molecules – this is called hydrophobic. Soap is able to bind to the oils on our hands, and then mix with the water to wash all the germs away.
