Dish soap is typically a base. It has a high pH, which means it is alkaline in nature. This alkaline property helps to break down and remove grease and oil effectively.
A bar of soap is typically basic rather than acidic. Soaps are commonly made by a chemical reaction between a fatty acid and a base, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. This reaction produces a salt, which is the basis for the cleaning properties of soap.
No, not all soaps are alkaline in nature. Soaps are the salts of fatty acids and can be either alkaline or neutral depending on the type of fatty acid used in their production. Traditional soaps made from fats with high alkaline content are alkaline, while syndet bars (synthetic detergents) are neutral or slightly acidic.
Reactive with metals typically indicates acidity, as acids tend to react with metals to form salts and release hydrogen gas. Bases, on the other hand, do not react with metals in the same way.
Washing detergent is nearly always alkaline or antacid. There are some special purpose soaps - called soapless soaps, that are mildly acidic, but they are for special purposes and not usually encountered. On the other hand, detergents with ammonia in them are strongly alkaline.
All soaps are basic (when talking pH scale).

Soap is a base. Many bases have the same slippery properties that soap does.

Soap is generally a base. It is often made through a chemical reaction between a fatty acid and a base like sodium hydroxide. This results in the formation of soap molecules, which can act as surfactants to help remove oil and dirt from surfaces.
