I do not know about that but I well remember when I was pulling K.P. in the Army a long time ago, the Mess Sgt. would really rag on us K.P. soldiers to rinse those trays and dishes well. Leave soap on them and you'll come down with the G.I. shetz! We would follow his orders as we did not want to pull more K.P. and that would be the result if the trays had soap on them.
