It sounds like bleach is like a chemically activated supercharged soap. Soap doing similar things in helping water bond to foreign material to carry them away.
Soap does it differently, allowing non polar molecules (like oils) to be dissolved in water by acting as a bridge between the two. It usually doesn't actually modify the compounds. Just acts as an adapter.
Bleach has more in common with acid based cleaners in the chemical disruption sense.
Just don't mix bleach and acids or you might actually die.
