This! Lathering really isn't a sign of a good clean, lathering has everything to do with ingredients added (a type of sulfate usually.) These sulfates are actually quite irritating depending on the concentration added, so in many ways... the less lather you have to get the clean you want the better. Its the reason that a lot of the biogroom products don't lather so much... they're gentler.
Psychologically we expect it to suds, but it doesn't necessarily have to and in a lot of dog shampoos less lather is better.
When I use biogroom I dilute it to 4 to 1, and I've never had a problem at getting Winston clean - IMO it does work better the more you dilute it.
