Looks like there&#39;s no consensus on back and forth vs concentric circles, so it seems best to do what you&#39;re most comfortable with until we have more evidence. <a href="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/index.php/ve/article/view/157">https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/index.php/ve/article/view/157</a></p> <p></p> <p>You definitely want at least 2% chlorhex though, any less than that and it&#39;s not as effective.</p> <p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
