soap is a beautiful thing. one molecule is attracted to dirt, the other is attracted by water.
the LEGEND i was taught was that women used to wash the clothes in the water at the base of Mount Sapon. At the top of Mount Sapon was where they sacrificed animals. the ash and rendered fat fell into the water and clothes washed in it were super clean! hence: saponification/soap. but that's probably bullshit as well
