Let's say you drop your hands and a bar of soap in to a filthy gutter. Then you wash your hand with water. And then using a fork or plyers you wash the soap, which one would be cleaner?

The fork!
No - the soap. Soap is made to pull greasy things off and wash them away in water - that's how it works. The soap will get clean faster than your hands in plain water. (It will also allow the outer "dirty" part to dissolve.)
If it were me, I'd just pick up the soap with my filthy hands and wash with it for a LONG time - then my hands AND the soap would be clean :-)

You'd be better off washing your contaminated hands with the contaminated soap, as plain water does not have the antibacterial properties of soap. That way, you would have both the soap and your hands clean.
BTW, bar soap is a good medium for the growth of bacteria if it stays wet, which is why pump soaps are cleaner.

Why on earth would you want to wash the filthy soap in the first place? Just go spend 50 cents and buy a new bar!

The soap. Unless you used soap on your hands.
