sudsy

Thick with bubbles

Sudsy describes something full of suds—the frothy bubbles produced by soap or detergent in water.

A sudsy sink is filled with dishwater; sudsy hands are covered in lather.

The word suggests cleaning or washing: The sudsy mop left streaks on the floor.

Informally, sudsy can describe beer, which produces its own foam.
