If pH of water is 2, out of soap and detergent which one you'll use for cleaning clothes? and why?

Detergents can be easily used in acidic solution

As salts of weak acids, soaps are converted by mineral acids into free fatty acids:

CH₃(CH₂)₁₆CO₂^-Na⁺ + HCl → CH₃(CH₂)₁₆CO₂H + Na⁺ + Cl^-

These fatty acids are less soluble than the sodium or potassium salts and form a precipitate or soap scum. Because of this, soaps are ineffective in acidic water
