How Do ICF CLX Wipes Work?

CLX Wipes contain several ingredients that work together to cleanse the skin and support its normal condition.

Chlorhexidine – 0.3%

Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic widely used in veterinary dermatology.

It has antimicrobial activity against many Gram-positive bacteria, some Gram-negative bacteria and certain yeasts.

When applied to the skin, chlorhexidine helps reduce susceptible microorganisms on the surface.

This makes it useful in hygiene routines for pets prone to recurrent bacterial skin overgrowth.

Climbazole – 0.5%

Climbazole is an antifungal ingredient with activity against certain yeasts, including Malassezia species.

Malassezia pachydermatis is a yeast commonly present on dogs' skin. Under certain conditions, including allergic inflammation and excess moisture, it can multiply excessively.

Climbazole complements the antiseptic properties of chlorhexidine, making CLX Wipes useful for maintaining yeast-prone areas.

Zinc Gluconate – 1%

Zinc gluconate is included for its skin-conditioning properties.

It is commonly used in dermatological formulations for oily or problem-prone skin.

Glycerine – 0.5%

Glycerine is a humectant that helps attract and retain moisture.

It contributes to skin hydration and helps reduce excessive drying during cleansing.

Tris-EDTA – 0.001%

Tris-EDTA is a chelating system used in veterinary antimicrobial preparations.

It can affect the outer membranes of certain bacteria and enhance their susceptibility to some antimicrobial ingredients.

The combination complements the chlorhexidine component of the wipes.

Ideal for Cleaning Dogs' Paws

Paws are one of the most common areas affected by allergic skin problems.

Dogs frequently walk through grass, mud, pollen and damp environments, allowing dirt and allergens to accumulate between their toes.

In allergy-prone dogs, the spaces between the toes may become inflamed and susceptible to bacterial or yeast overgrowth.

CLX Wipes Pocket are particularly convenient for cleaning:

• Between the toes
• Around paw pads
• Between digital pads
• Areas affected by repeated licking
• Skin that accumulates dirt after walks
• Accessible areas requiring regular hygiene

Their compact packaging makes them useful for cleaning paws while travelling or after outdoor activities.

Useful for Dogs with Environmental Allergies

Environmental allergies can cause inflammation and itching, particularly affecting the paws, belly, armpits and groin.

Allergic skin inflammation can disrupt the normal skin barrier, increasing susceptibility to secondary bacterial and yeast overgrowth.

CLX Wipes can help maintain hygiene in these areas as part of an appropriate veterinary care programme.

They do not treat the underlying allergy, and persistent symptoms may require additional treatment.

Skin Fold Cleaning for Dogs and Cats

Skin folds can trap moisture, oils and debris, creating an environment favourable to microbial overgrowth.

CLX Wipes Pocket can be used to clean accessible skin folds, including:

• Facial folds
• Lip folds
• Neck folds
• Armpits
• Groin folds
• Tail folds

Gently wipe the area, avoiding excessive rubbing, and allow the skin to dry.

Do not apply directly to the eyes or mucous membranes.

Perfect for Travel, Walks and Dog Sports

The 20-wipe pocket pack is a convenient option for pet owners who need skin-cleansing products away from home.

Keep a pack in your:

• Dog walking bag
• Car or van
• Holiday luggage
• Grooming kit
• Dog show bag
• Agility competition equipment
• Training bag
• Pet first aid supplies

The smaller pack is particularly practical when carrying a full-size tub or pack of wipes would be inconvenient.

Recommended ICF CLX Wipes Usage Schedule

The manufacturer's UK guidance for CLX Wipes recommends using them once or twice daily during active skin hygiene management, followed by maintenance as needed.

Reason for Use	Suggested Frequency
Routine paw cleaning	As needed
Allergy-prone paws	1–2 times daily when appropriate
Skin prone to bacterial or yeast overgrowth	1–2 times daily under veterinary guidance
Skin fold maintenance	As needed, depending on skin condition
Veterinary-directed intensive hygiene	1–2 times daily until improvement, then reassess
Long-term maintenance	According to individual skin condition and veterinary advice

These schedules are based on the CLX Wipes product range. Check the instructions supplied with the Pocket pack for any specific differences.

Daily Skin Hygiene

For areas prone to microbial overgrowth, the manufacturer recommends application once or twice daily until the skin improves.

Monitor the area for redness, discomfort or irritation.

Ongoing Maintenance

Once the skin is healthy, the wipes may be used less frequently.

Some dogs benefit from regular paw cleaning, while others only need occasional use after walks or during periods of increased environmental exposure.

How Long Should CLX Wipes Be Used?

There is no single fixed treatment duration appropriate for every animal.

The manufacturer recommends continued use until improvement, followed by maintenance where necessary.

If symptoms persist, worsen or repeatedly return, veterinary examination and skin cytology may be required.

How to Use ICF CLX Wipes Pocket

1. Open the pack: Remove one pre-moistened wipe.
2. Identify the area: Locate the paws, skin folds or other external skin requiring cleaning.
3. Wipe gently: Clean the skin, including accessible creases and spaces between the toes.
4. Remove debris: Use additional wipes if necessary.
5. Allow to dry: No rinsing is required.
6. Prevent immediate licking: Allow the treated skin to dry before your pet grooms the area.
7. Repeat as directed: Follow the recommended maintenance schedule or veterinary instructions.
8. Reseal the pack: Close securely to prevent the remaining wipes drying out.
