Buenos días,

El término que consulto aparece en una lista de productos de aseo personal para combatir el Covid-19

- PPE (Personal protection equipment
- Metal sinks
- **Liquid soapy water** holder

La expresión "soapy water" he visto que se traduce como "agua jabonosa" pero no estoy seguro si al agregar el término "liquid" se estén refiriendo al "jabón líquido" que se utiliza en ciertos lugares en lugar del jabón en barra.
