Answer
Washing powder is not a base. It is alkaline.
The property that makes it alkaline is the presence of alkali compounds, such as sodium carbonate (soda ash) or sodium hydroxide. These compounds have a high pH and can neutralize acids. They also help to soften water, which improves the cleaning effectiveness of the detergent.
