DP 4n1/Onr + Traditional Soap

[daveo]

I was wondering if it was just me or the soap, because I added some DP 4n1 to a bucket of sudsy water (XMT soap) and there seemed to be no suds in the bucket shortly after. While I believe you dont need suds for lubrication, I was wondering what others experiences were when adding a rinseless ounce to a traditional wash. Does the encapsulating effect of the rinseless diminish the suds?

This has been mentioned by others so you aren't alone.
The consensus of opinion seems to be that the addition of the DP/ONR is beneficial and that the reduction of suds doesn't reduce the performance of the wash solution.
IMO, You are on the right track in thinking that the suds don't do much of anything when it comes to the actual cleaning or lubrication a soap provides.
