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