“The more it lathers, the more effective it is”: a persistent myth in occupational hygiene
Some people still associate foam with a cleaning product’s effectiveness. However, in professional cleaning, it has no direct impact on the product’s ability to clean or disinfect.
Why foam can be misleading:
Above all, it influences the user's perception, not the product's actual effectiveness.
Too much lather can make rinsing more difficult and leave behind residue.
- Foam does not reflect the product’s actual effectiveness; it can even interfere with the proper functioning of the equipment.

What really determines the effectiveness of a good detergent:
The nature and concentration of the active ingredients, which determine the product’s ability to loosen and remove dirt.
Their compatibility with treated surfaces, to prevent any damage or loss of performance.
Contact time and application conditions (temperature, dosage, etc.) play a key role in the final result.
