Yes, but they will not burn by themselves, as the MSDS for common detergents assigns a flammability rating of 0 (zero). And liquid soaps would extinguish fires.

I think there exist so many chemicals in the compositions of soap. But I do not think such chemicals will catch on fire.

Are laundry detergents flammable?

Ordinary detergents, which are soaps (surfactants) can burn (oxidize), but are not classified as flammable. Specialized dry-cleaning agents use solvents, and many are volatile, flammable, and explosive. Some forms of powder or dust, such as from grains, may be explosive if in a dense aerosol state. This is not as hazardous for powdered detergents because the heat required is much higher. However, since soaps are derived from fatty acids (triglycerides), and synthetic detergents may be based on tetrapropylene, they can "burn" in a fire, producing carbon dioxide, water, and various gases and residues, mainly nitrates and sulfates.
