Stable, aqueous detergent-iodine germicidal use compositions and concentrates adapted for application to animal or human skin are provided which have desirable detergent:iodine ratios of from about 2-4.5. The compositions and concentrates include a polyethoxylated polyoxypropylene block copolymer (poloxamer) as the complexing agent, wherein the polyoxypropylene moiety has an average molecular weight of at least 2600 and a polyoxyethylene content of from about 30 % - 75 % by weight, in combination with from about 0.1 % - 5 % by weight average available iodine on a nominal basis. Use of the defined class of poloxamers allows formulation of both high and low temperature stable compositions and concentrates. Other ingredients such as emollients, buffering agents and viscosity improvers can also form a part of the use compositions and concentrates.
