In England, does "washing up liquid" properly refer to dish soap?

people really call it that? normal people?

Dish soap to me - means soap in a dish. That with which you wash your hands...

Washing up liquid - is fairy! (other brands of washing up liquid are available)

gotcha

I checked the bottle right after I posed the question and it does indeed call itself "washing up liquid"

In Canada if someone says they are going to go wash up it means clean their body. Therefore if you ask a Canadian to "wash up" you are implying they themselves look dirty.

Is "dry up" the same? As in "I'm going to dry up the dishes."

If someone said they were going to "dry up" I'd normally think they had come in from the rain.

or they were joining AA :wah:

I think its quite amusing when the English people say "I get on really well with so-and-so" meaning they get along as friends. I always think of it as another way of saying "getting it on" meaning, making out in a sexual manner.

The first would be dry off and the second would be dry out.
