I believe it is a base.
If liquid detergent turns red litmus paper blue, it is likely a base. Red litmus paper turns blue in the presence of a base, indicating that the detergent is causing a basic reaction.
Detergent solutions are usually slightly basic because they contain surfactants that can act as weak bases.
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.
Dish detergent is usually a base. It contains surfactants that help to remove grease and grime by lowering the surface tension of water and allowing it to penetrate and clean more effectively.
Dishwashing detergent is typically a base. Bases help to break down and remove grease and oils from dishes by emulsifying them in water, making it easier to rinse them away.

Usually, it is a base, but that depends on the brand and it's purpose. Bleaches are acidic, while dish detergent is basic.

Most detergents are slightly to moderately alkaline.
Dish detergent is usually a base. It contains surfactants that help to remove grease and grime by lowering the surface tension of water and allowing it to penetrate and clean more effectively.
Laundry detergent is typically a base because it contains surfactants that help to lift dirt and oils from fabrics by increasing the pH of the water, making it more alkaline.

Yes, it is. You can tell weather something is an Alkali, Neutral pr acid via the pH scale or, you can tell if something is an alkali from its consistency; if it is sludgy (like washing-up liquid), it is an alkali. So, I am under the influence that washing-up POWDER is too, an alkali.J.S.P. Aged 11

Detergent should be placed in the designated detergent dispenser or directly into the drum of the washing machine before adding clothes.
detergent is alkali and this can be tested by putting detergent into an acid if it neutralises than it is an acid not an alkali
