Read the directions and literature supplies with chloraprep. It is a one-step procedure and all the studies done were with this one-step method. The key is scrubbing the skin back and forth. It is already 70%alcohol. RaKay

We are using the chloroprep frep with our central line dressing changes. We seem to recall we were instructed to clean the site with alcohol and then the chloroprep. Is anyone aware of this and if so do you have any literature to support this? We are having a "debate" at our hospital about this. Thank you for time. I have been a "lurker" on the site for a long time and have received valuable information in the past. Michele Adams RN
