Soap is more effective in soft water. For the same reason, it is more effective in pure water than seawater.
Does soap Work in sea water?
Soaps are made from fats and caustics which don't lather up well in salt water, or in hard mineralized freshwater. Consequently, they also don't wash away dirt and grime effectively
