Acid can also kill sperm cells. A human vagina usually has a pH between 4.0 and 4.5, although it becomes less acidic during times of fertility. This pH is, by itself, more than enough to kill sperm. ... Aside from that, household soaps and detergents can also kill sperm by chemically stripping away their cell membranes
