The German consumer magazine Warentest BTW evaluates the efficiency of dish soap by sudsing.
Not to be confused with cleaning ability which is evaluated by a wipe test after a soak and of course dish soap is not laundry detergent, but still.
If the absence of suds is a clear indicator for the professionals to tell that all detergency (of a sudsy detergent) is used up or not why would I question this old wisdom when washing clothes? As long as I don`t use something like Rosalie`s of course. On the other hand, Glenn I think you`re right about that the presence of suds alone does not necessarily mean there is enough detergent because suds don`t tell if you`ve overcome water hardness, minerals from sweat and so on.
That`s because most man made surfactants don`t react with calcium or other minerals like soap does.[this post was last edited: 7/10/2024-11:03]
