If it was an strong alkali it would be irritant for the skin, if it was a weak alkali it would clean anything. Soap kill bacterias, the soap goes in to the bacterias cellmembrane and their membrane will be overlasted of water so it will explode and without cellmembrane the bacteria is as good as dead, then you wash your hands with water and the bacterias will go.
