Not necessarily. Soap and other cleaning agents are all part of a group of chemicals called "surfactants", which significantly reduces water surface tension, allowing the water to dissolve grease and many other unwanted substances. The surfactants act the same whether lather is produced or not.

Can you use anti-bacterial soap to clean your naval piercing?

Yes you can, check therelated links below this answer for more detailed aftercare information. When using antibacterial soap be sure you use the liquid soap and dilute it with water as you lather it up, we want a nice runny lather so it is easier to rinse out of the piercing. Allow it to stay on the piercing and jewellery for a few moments then rinse the piercing with lots of running water while moving the jewellery to rinse the soap out of the piercing. This has been used by my clients with great success over the last 15 years with no issues. Happy Piercings
