Why does soap rinse off easier under warm water?
Does this have to do with the covalent bonds of lipids in the soap reacting to the heat?
I am very religious about my soaps.

you guessed it! fat does not like heat. that's why you won't find fat people in the tropics. except for those samoans. hehehe...

Soap has molecules that contain both ionic and covalent bonds. One end is polar and water-soluble and the other end is non-polar and organic-soluble, such as sodium lauryl sulfate. I believe that with increase in temperature, solubility increases.
Soaps clean, but not as much as the blood of Jesus. I should know.

Because many soaps contain some type of fats or oils, and we all know that fats and oils solidify under cold water whereas they soften and run off under warm or hot water.

I think that it has something to do with the fact that solids in general dissolve better in warm liquids than cold (more energy).

because its harder to stay under cold water long enough for the soap to come off.

If you know what covalent bonds are, you know the answer.

Makes sense to me?
