Some color foam brush soaps stain no matter what you do. Some will only stain if the water isn't soft. Have you checked it?

You could always switch to a non-color soap.

If the staining bothers you maybe you should switch to a colorless FB soap. i used to use Armor All Cherry White. It was a white foam with a strong cherry scent.
Generally, I don't like using colored soaps because, to me anyway, it doesn't seem to make much sense to apply color to something that you are trying to clean. I do use green tire cleaner and inject blue foam detergent into my presoak but after that i prefer white colors.
I am using JBS pink foam brush detergent. The pick color seems to turn white after about 10-15 minutes of being exposed to sunlight.

I use a mix of simoniz correct powder and simoniz foam additive in my foam brush. It foams white. Great cleaning power, too. No color, no scent.

We use JBS Action (AT-105) which is their premium soap. It leaves a deep pink color when it dries but it rinses away easily. Which JBS FB soap did you use?

I had the same issue, even worse when people used my then pink foaming brush soap. I switched to no-dye soap, comes out pure white and I no longer get calls about the soap staining boats, clothes, shoes, etc. Sure, color is neat, but white is a color too.

I always thought scents were more appealing than color. Just find a white soap with a strong cherry or lemon scent and the customer appeal will still be there.
