Best Answer
Acids are not soapy.Bases are giving soapy nature.

Answer:
Depending on the nature of the "soap" the material present may be either a soap or a detergent. Detergents may produce either a basic or acidic aqueous solution when present in water. Soaps may be either alkali or neurtral depending on whether they are "pH balanced" by acid addition to remove the unreacted alkali present.

Soapy bathwater is slightly alkaline. This is because most soaps are basic in nature, which means they have a pH higher than 7. The alkalinity of soapy water helps to clean dirt and oils from the skin.
