Usage
Use in accordance with local bed bathing and infection control protocols in healthcare settings.
Open the pack immediately before use and remove one washcloth at a time.
Use the cloths to cleanse and condition the skin, following a head-to-toe sequence as per clinical guidelines to minimise cross-contamination.
Ensure each area of the body is wiped thoroughly; use separate cloths for different regions (e.g. face, torso, limbs, perineal area) as recommended.
No rinsing is typically required; allow the skin to air dry briefly if needed, avoiding excessive rubbing.

Serious allergic reactions are rare but possible; if suspected, stop use immediately and seek appropriate medical evaluation.
