Abstract

Soap has always been and still is a valuable antiseptic agent. Among the new synthetic detergents products are available which can be used in neutral or acid solutions to give a much stronger antiseptic action than is possible with soap solutions. These new detergents are valuable because a really worthwhile antiseptic action is obtained from products which are not toxic. The new detergents are non-volatile so that they are stable under storage conditions, and they dissolve rapidly to start their sterilizing action. Further study of these products is worthwhile and necessary because no antiseptic is of any value unless it is properly used.
