Yes, an 8oz bottle of Hibiclens Antiseptic Skin Cleanse is perfect for pre-op showering, as hospitals often recommend it to reduce infection risk by killing germs on the skin, but always follow your surgeon's specific instructions, especially avoiding your face, hair, mouth, ears, and genital area.

A: While Hibiclens (chlorhexidine) kills many germs and viruses, it's not the most effective against Norovirus, which is notoriously hard to kill; thorough washing with plain soap and water (friction is key) and using bleach-based cleaners for surfaces are the CDC-recommended methods for Norovirus prevention, as alcohol sanitizers and many antiseptics fail against it.
