  • That’s a really interesting question, and questions like this were areas of active research in the earliest days of tissue culture; or specifically how to do the opposite, some times: how to effectively get the properties of soap without the bubbles.

    Google tween 20, which is a product made for this specific purpose. However, I do know that in a lab setting, it maintain its properties a deal longer that 24 hrs.

    I think your answer would depend on the nature of the soap solution used to create the bubbles. My guess would be that something is being oxydized, and with exposure to oxygen, the molecule responsible for the bubbles is reduced and not as effective.
