This checklist question has a sample procedure for how to check for residual 
detergent in glassware.  The procedure says to use a pH meter.  We've always 
used pH paper.  However, in reading their recommended procedure, you need to 
look for a change of greater than 0.2 pH units between source water and 
glassware pH.  Does anyone else use pH paper vs. a pH meter?  We only use our 
pH meter very infrequently and will calibrate it just prior to use.  If we use 
it for glassware cleaning, we'll have to calibrate more regularly, something 
I'd just as soon avoid if possible.  We've never had a problem with our 
glassware cleaning procedure with CAP in the past.  Any advice?
