SUMMARY The cleaning and bactericidal efficiencies of a number of detergents were estimated by laboratory tests, the techniques of which are described. Field trials with some of the detergents in a small and a large canteen gave results similar to those obtained in the laboratory. The ability of Salmonella paratyphi B to survive and grow after inoculation into samples of used dish water obtained from a small canteen was demonstrated.
