ELI5: Does soap really clean us or does it just make us smell nice?

Is there such a thing as being truly clean?

To an extent, yes soap does clean us! Soap, which is called an emulsifying agent, works at a chemical level by breaking up the oil and grime into a more manageable size. They form what are called micelles, imagine a bubble with dirt and oil in it but miscroscopic, that suspend the oils and dirt on the surface of the skin in a way that they can be removed!
