Using antiseptics safely

Antiseptics help reduce germs on skin and minor wounds, while disinfectants are used on surfaces and equipment. Choose the right product for the job and follow the dilution guidance.

Clean minor wounds gently, apply antiseptic as directed, and cover where needed. Avoid using strong disinfectants on broken skin. Seek advice for deep, dirty or non healing wounds.
