Artificial detergents do not remove impurities by themselves. Rather, they are purifiers that eliminate the impurity itself. So, if clothes contaminated with an impurity are washed with water and soap, and the impurity is removed, then they become pure, and it is permissible to pray in them. This is the view of some scholars, that impurities can be removed by any cleansing agent, and it is not a condition for their removal that pure water be used.
