Your findings are on the money, Joe.
If i had a water softener on board, it's unlikely we'd use much if any "rinse agents" thru the TM.
as it is, we do use emulsifier thru the TM in our cleaning.
However, it's not so much to aid in soil suspension (the pre-spray and drell has already done the heavy lifting as you noted)
The reason we use emulsifier thru the TM is to condition the water, add fragrance and keep scale down in the TM.
Like Jimmy, we only use 1/3 to 1/2 of suggested dilutions.
(unless it's a "really" trashed rag)
