Tecnu Original Outdoor Skin Cleanser - 12 oz, Pack of 3

Tecnu: Your Solution to the Misery of Poison Oak, Ivy, and Sumac

Tecnu is a versatile outdoor skin cleanser that can effectively cleanse and decontaminate skin, tools, clothing, and pets by removing the invisible urushiol oil from poison oak, ivy, and sumac. Additionally, Tecnu can also be used to remove skunk odor.

One of the primary benefits of using Tecnu is its ability to remove poison ivy, oak, and sumac oil from the skin. Simply apply Tecnu to dry skin, rub vigorously for two minutes, and then rinse with cool water or wipe off with a cloth. This process can be particularly effective when used within 2-8 hours after exposure to these plants, as it can help remove the urushiol oil before the rash begins to develop.

However, Tecnu's utility extends beyond just the initial exposure. Once a poison plant rash has already started, washing with Tecnu can help remove any remaining free oil on the skin, allowing the natural healing process to begin without the risk of further spreading the poison ivy oil (re-contamination).

It's important to note that poison ivy and oak oil can also spread from contaminated clothing, shoes, gloves, tools, and pets. Since the urushiol oil does not evaporate, it can linger on these items for months or even years. This is where Tecnu Original Outdoor Skin Cleanser comes in handy. By using Tecnu to wash off the oil, you can effectively avoid a poison ivy or oak rash from secondary contact.

It's worth mentioning that Tecnu Original Outdoor Skin Cleanser is sometimes misspelled as "Tech Nu" or "Technu Outdoor Skin Cleanser," but these variations refer to the same product.

In summary, Tecnu is a powerful and versatile outdoor skin cleanser that can effectively remove the invisible urushiol oil from poison oak, ivy, and sumac. It can be used as a body wash to cleanse the skin, as well as to decontaminate tools, clothing, and pets. Tecnu's ability to remove the oil before a rash begins or after it has started makes it a valuable tool in managing the misery of these irritating plants. By using Tecnu, you can take control of the situation and reduce the risk of experiencing the unpleasant symptoms associated with poison oak, ivy, and sumac exposure.
