Applying detergent will disrupt the plasma membrane of the cell. Decreasing the PH (more acidic) will denature the proteins inside the cell, rendering them dysfunctional. Increasing the salt concentration outside the cell would make the cell lose water by osmosis, and would shrink and shrivel up.

The greatest effect will be the detergent, second would be the salt, third would be the pH changes.
