With a kind of pushing and pulling action, the soap loosens the bonds holding dirt to the skin.
Unless you’’re using a germicidal soap, it usually doesn’’t kill the bacteria soap simply removes bacteria along with dirt and oil. Neither baths nor showers are all that necessary and unless you’’re in a Third World country where infectious diseases are common, or you have open sores on your skin, the dirt and bacteria aren’’t going to hurt.
