MIL-HDBK-740
c. Alternate Method for Field Dishwashing Procedure - Disinfectant Method.- Disinfectant, Food Service (Chlorine-Iodine Type), FSN 6840-810-6396, (4.77oz. pouch), was developed for low-temperature Disinfection mess its, in lieu of the boiling water rinse. It is intended primarily for use in the field where the rinsing solution cannot be kept at the boiling point for disinfecting mess kits. When dissolved in water, Disinfectant, Food Service, releases both iodine and chlorine gas which disinfects the mess kit. The efficiency of this action is increased by the length of time it stays in contact with the mess kit and also by the agitation of the water. If the compound is dissolved in warm water (130°F), the halogen gases are released
too rapidly and the disinfecting action is soon lost. A chlorine-iodine solution for rinsing the mess kits of approximately 100 men is made by dissolving the contents of one double compartment, one package of Disinfectant, Food Service, in 25 gallons of water. If the water is cold, mix the contents
of the package with a small amount of water in a container (canteen cup)
and pour the mixture into the rinse water. Stir thoroughly to dissolve. A
fresh solution must be made up for each 100 men, and a solution should not
be reused. The proper mess kit washing, rinsing and disinfecting procedures consist of a mess kit cleaning operation using three 32-gallon galvanized
steel cans.
