Answer:

It's hard to wash off with water because water molecules are more attracted to one another than they are to oil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oil molecules are large and awkward, and they don't have poles — ends with different electric charges — so they're not very easy to bond with.

Sometimes greasy substances are difficult to wash of because it get dry and it sicks, or maybe sometimes water does nothing to it.
