A bio-leave-no-trace question

If a foam party (the johnsons baby shampoo variety) is done in a relatively closed environment with a tarped floor and the residue (minimal) is allowed to evaporate off the tarp and tarp is removed does it break any codes in the BM way of doing things or somehow upset the BORG?

Im not sure about upseting borg.. but you also might want to consider people might leave the foam party with the foam on them and dropping it on the playa.. you might need a defoaming area!

There was a Playa Foam Dome in 2002 - it was tarped (with the tarp extending up several feet on the inside). For a "dressing" area I recalled they just had wood pallets laying behind the dome. Pretty basic. The biggest issues I recalled were water (both in quantity and quality). Since this is basically a giant shower, there are health concerns also.

It was the favorite way to get clean that year though....

Defoamer is used in carpet cleaning. To much suds and the float in the recovery tank will shut the machine down. Defoamer is salt based.
