Diluting Chlorhexidine?

Does this have to be diluted before cleaning tubs or tanks. If so, what % of chlor to water do you use. Thanx a million!!!

Mine says on the bottle 1 ounce per gallon of water.

when you buy chlorhexidine it will either be at 2% concentration, or 4% concentration. (4% concentration is harder to find) it must be further diluted to make it safe but still effective. as John1982 said 1 oz of solution per gallon of water is usually recommended.

I mix mine a table spoon to a gallon of water.

1 floz = 2 tablespoons

I just pour a little in a gallon jug. No biggie

A shot glass (ounce) or so per gallon. My Vet says they use it at different concentrations for different applications like sterilizing surgical equipment or cleaning out a wound. But like snake lab I just kinda wing it . I do make a stronger mix for my water bowls but make sure to rinse thoroughly.

I purchased a bottle but have not used it yet on my tubs. Do you have to dry the tubs completely prior to placing the snakes back?

Its best with any cleaner that you dry completly. So in short yep

I also wing it and put roughly enough to make the water light blue and have a mild smell
