Water with detergent dissolved in it should have small angles of contact.

Answer»

Solution :The clothes have narrow PORES or spaceswhich act as capillaries . The HEIGHT of liquid in capillary,
`h=(2Tcostheta)/(rrhog)`
`therefore` Height h is proportinal to `costheta` (Where `theta` is ANGLE of CONTACT). As the `theta` is smaller for DETERGENT , therefore `costheta` will be large . Due to this the detergent will penetrate more in the narrow pores of the clothes.
