Typical dosage for Hibiclens

Hibiclens comes in many forms, such as solutions (soaps), gels, and cloths. Products made by different manufacturers can have different strengths and directions. Follow the specific product instructions on the package or ask your provider or pharmacist about how to use chlorhexidine.

For Hibiclens solutions:

  • For general skin cleansing and skin wound cleansing: Rinse the area of skin with water. Apply the smallest amount of Hibiclens needed to cover the area and wash gently. Then, rinse off the medication well with water.

  • For healthcare staff: Wet the area of skin with water. Follow the product instructions to use Hibiclens to scrub the area of skin for 1.5 to 3 minutes. How much product you need to use and how long you need to scrub for depends on the strength of Hibiclens that you're using. Rinse off the medication with water and dry well. Be sure to clean your fingernails, cuticles, and skin between the fingers.
