Using ONR in a conventional wash

[rzatch]

I had an interesting situation this morning. I put an ounce of BF diamond wash in my gun and added two cap fulls of ONR. It KILLED the foam making ability....sound right?

Don`t know if it`s right probably is but seems a waste of some good suds

You can actually use ONR alone as a regular wash. You won`t get the suds, but it will do the job just fine whether you rinse it or not. Added to regular shampoo you will see added lubricity and it will soften the water.

Being in Ohio with hard water I have started using 1/2 - 1 oz mixed into every wash. It does seem to help soften the water and aid in cleaning ability.

As others have said. This is normal. ONR does seem to reduce the suds of your soap. I think it has to do with the way ONR works. But at the end of the day ONR proved that suds are overrated.

ONR has always reduced suds on any soap I have used. I also insure I rinse out buckets after ONR to keep the next regular wash also get affected.

i always add a rinseless product to my washes, reason why is because my water is not exactly soft. its about medium hardness from the dip-stick test i did on my city water so its also chlorinated. so i just add about 1/2-1/4oz for a wash it does reduce suds a tiny bit but not much to notice, now if i added enough for a rinseless then add standard soap then i would not get suds most likely. i just add the onr to soften water, and add alittle more lubricity. i really need to get on the ball and make my small filter cart.
