Soap solution is used for cleaning dirty clothes because
  1. surface tension of solution is decreased.
  2. viscosity of solution is increased.
  3. temperature of solution is decreased.
  4. surface tension of solution in increased.

Solution

Soap solution is used for cleaning dirty clothes because it decreases the surface tension of water, which increases the wetting ability of water. This allows the soap solution to mix with oil, grease, and dirt particles on clothes, making them easier to wash away ~
