Nasal decolonization

Do any sites have a nasal decolonization protocol? Even without a formal protocol, what products are you using?

I am currently evaluating between providone-iodine and alcohol based products, but of course, there are no head-to-head studies. Seems like either would be fine, but would be interested if someone has info showing superiority or why you went with a particular product.

TIA!
