What does sudsier mean?
Sudsier is the comparative of sudsy and means more full of suds, bubbles, or soap foam. It is most often used when describing water, soap, or a cleaning solution in which one kind is foamier than another. For example, a person might note that warm water becomes sudsier after detergent is added or that a washing machine has sudsier water than expected. The word has an everyday, descriptive tone and is especially associated with the visible bubbles produced by soap. It can also convey an impression of vigorous washing or abundant lather. While “sudsier” clearly compares quantities, it does not by itself indicate whether the foam is desirable; that judgment depends on context, such as whether the person is washing dishes, laundry, or a vehicle.
