When mixed with liquid hand soap, will distilled water create more suds than if you used tap water?

its for a science thing. any input will help. Thanks guysWhen mixed with liquid hand soap, will distilled water create more suds than if you used tap water?
Distilled water has no metal ions. Metal ions reduce the sudsing of soap. Tap water will have the ions present in varying amounts, depending on your location and whether it is well water or treated water.When mixed with liquid hand soap, will distilled water create more suds than if you used tap water?
Yes, untreated tap water is usually ';hard water'; meaning that it has dissolved ions that interfere with the action of soaps and detergents.
The difference is going to be very minimal. The ';contaminants'; in tap water will have about as much affect as a bb gun on a speeding train, which is to say that it exists, but so small that I doubt you would notice unless you were looking for it.





I guess as a side note I'm assuming your tap water is completely horrible. The answer to the question depends on how well your local water treatment plant does it's job.
