Foaming is a chemical phenomenon.

The foaming capacity of soap is determined by how much detergent is in it. Less detergent means little foaming while more detergent will have more foam.
The foaming capacity of Tide Plus detergent is designed to produce a moderate level of foam to help lift dirt and stains from fabrics during the washing process. However, the specific foaming capacity measurement for Tide Plus is not typically provided by the manufacturer.
Dettol is not specifically designed as a foaming product, but it does produce a moderate level of foam when mixed with water due to its surfactant properties. The foaming capacity may vary based on the concentration used and the water hardness.
Hard water has a lower foaming capacity compared to soft water because the presence of minerals such as calcium and magnesium interferes with the formation of soap lather. Soft water, on the other hand, allows for more effective lathering with soap due to the absence of these minerals.

Plant foaming and polymer foaming
Oh, what a lovely experiment you have there! To investigate the foaming capacity of different washing soaps, you'll want to create a fair test by using the same amount of each soap. Adding sodium carbonate can be a great idea to see how it affects the foaming. Remember, each result is just a happy little discovery on your scientific canvas!
Sodium carbonate has a good effect on foaming action of soap. The tap water with which soap is agitated to form soap contains ca and magnesium salts dissolved in it.Sodium Carbonate will make it precipitate.As a result Sodium Carbonate will increase the rate of dissapearance of foam. GOKUL MURALI
From first hand experience, foaming hand soap will work in a non-foaming dispenser. Although the soap will come out as regular soap, not foam. The foaming soap will work as regular soap, just not foaming soap.
Foaming is the present participle of foam.
Regular liquid soap may not work well in a foaming dispenser as it may not produce the same foaming effect as foaming soap. Foaming soap is typically diluted and has a specific formula designed to work with the foaming mechanism of the dispenser. Using regular liquid soap may clog or damage the foaming mechanism over time.
