Literal question
Do you have any soap or detergent (or other locally used cleansing agent) in your household for washing hands?
Interviewer instructions
If there is no specific place for handwashing in the household, or permission is not granted to see the place, you will need to ask questions HW4 and HW5. HW4 asks whether soap or detergent (or other locally used cleansing agent) is available in the household, and if so, HW5 is used to ask the respondent whether it is possible to show the soap or detergent. Record your observation if the respondent shows you the soap, detergent, or other cleansing agent. Circle all that apply. If the respondent is unable to show or does not want to show, circle 'Y'. Survey Coordinators: Adapt the question to include locally used cleansing agent, if any.
