# §761.363. Applicability.


The double wash/rinse procedure includes two washing steps and two rinsing steps. The two washing and rinsing steps are slightly different depending on whether a contaminated surface was relatively clean before the spill (see [§ 761.372](/cfr/40/761.372.md)), or whether the surface was coated or covered with dust, dirt, grime, grease or another absorbent material (see [§ 761.375](/cfr/40/761.375.md)).
