Can Savlon Be Used To Clean Wound?

Hello Doctor, I had a fall day before yesterday. Have a wound on my knee and elbow. I used betadine solution and ointment. Now I want to clean the wound which has all the betadine residue. I have savlon but the expiry date mentioned on it is June 2013. Can I use it to just clean the wound.
