Occasionally, I will still develop a couple of red itchy bumps two or three days after exposure. Amazingly,if you scrub your skin again, the Tecnu Cleanser seems to stop the bumps from getting any worse , and spreading into a rash. Another Tecnu product ( also available from Amazon) called Medicated Poison Ivy Scrub , is very effective in treating any bumps or rash that do develop. To use the Tecnu Original Skin Cleanser, I cut up old cotton T shirts into small washcloths. I scrub my skin with the Cleanser on the washcloth, and then just throw the washcloth into the trash. The Tecnu Original Cleanser contains Mineral Spirits , and I find the odor is difficult to wash out of cloth or clothing . I do not add the Tecnu Original Cleanser to my washing machine , again because the odor is hard to wash out. After I scrub my skin, I wash my skin using dishwashing detergent , which removes the odor of the Tecnu.
I use double the regular amount of laundry detergent in my washing machine to remove poison ivy oils from clothing. I also add one third cup of TSP ( trisodium phosphate) to my washing machine. TSP is a widely used cleaning product that used to be a standard ingredient in laundry detergents, and I believe helps to remove poison ivy oils from clothing.
BEFORE I go outside, (after shaking up the bottle) I pour about a quarter size amount into the palm of my hand. I then, rub this all over and around my arm. I then repeat this process w/a new quarter size amount of liquid) for my other arm and each leg. For all areas, rub in really well. After being outside, working on my land all day (I was clearing it with a machete, so that you’ll understand how much in contact I was with all the plants) I came in and showered. Because I was being extra cautious, I reapplied the TECNU after my shower. (NOTE: The directions say apply immediately after exposure; I wasn’t taking chances)
Since the first time of using this, I ONLY apply it BEFORE GOING OUTSIDE. I’ve been using this all summer long, daily. Each day, I am outside for at least eight hours a day (so you’ll its duration quality). I have NOT gotten/had ANY poison Ivy attacks since using this product. I would - and I will continue purchasing the TECNU OUTDOOR SKIN CLEANSER. Lastly, since purchasing this, I have only used up about a third of the bottle. Well worth its price
PRO’S:
• stays on all day;
• easy to apply;
• ok to spray bug spray on top of it;
• not sticky
• no bad smells
• can also be used for skunk oil; tree
sap/pitch(*)
• can also be used on pets; clothing; tools (*)
NOTE: (*) denotes that I have NOT personally tried. But, it is stated on bottle. (Unknown if stated on Amazon site.)
CONS:
• really, just the price. Despite being fairly costly, it IS the only product that has worked for me.
I WOULD/WILL CONTINUE TO PURCHASE AND USE THIS PRODUCT. Having stated this, I would love it even more (and probably tap dance in the street) if TECNU opted to lower their price, (what with both my husband and I living solely off of his social security).
FINSL WORD:
IF YOU NEED IT, BUY IT; IT WORKS!

In this quart bottle it is a better value, but still kind of pricy.
For actually treating my skin, I combine this with Zanfel Wash, which is a very expensive but very effective product for poison ivy/oak/sumac exposure. Zanfel has exfoliating ingredients, which helps remove the most contaminated layer of skin and helps the treatment penetrate deeper down into the layers of skin. Zanfel is supposed to be diluted with a small amount of water but I use just a splash of water and then add some Tecnu to it so that the exfoliating and treatment effects can be used on a much larger area of your body than the Zanfel directions indicate. Then, for washing the rash after that initial combo treatment, I just used Tecnu alone. However -as the Zanfel directions say- if you have an extremely itchy episode occur as it's healing, re-treat with Zanfel (and I dilute it with Tecnu again). This combo technique really reduced my itching, and healed up the rash in almost half the time it usually takes!
