How to clean a scrape?

My dad is an EMT and i listen to his medical talk all the time. From what I gather, flush it out with soap and water every hour (then you add the anti biotic and band-aid), and if you have strips of cloth, try to wrap those around the cut because it will absorb the clear stuff better thar the band aids will. the clear stuff is pus and pus is basically germs that are bad for your body. so far you are doing really well, and I am impressed with your progress.
