Excellent sap remover too.

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2024

My dogs get pine pitch in the delicate fur between the pads of their paws. It's nearly impossible to remove without tremendous discomfort. If I recall correctly, this was invented by US Forest Service as a sap remover, and inadvertently discovered it worked on poison oak urushiol, very effectively. Been using it for 40 years... I keep a bottle in my jeep, camper and house.

Been depending on this product to prevent or even ease the itching of poison ivy for many years, this purchase was a good value.

It works.

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024

Every time I weed whack behind my garage I get poison ivy on the inside of my arms and on my legs. I could probably wear pants and long sleeve shirts instead of shorts and short sleeves but it's been brutally hot this summer. I started taking showers after yard work and use the tecnu to rinse with and nothing. No itch and no rash. I was using it post rash over the years and it helps reduce the itch but using it pre rash keeps it away. Shower only wasn't working. They also have a post rash/itch spray that works to reduce the itch and prevent the spread.

This seems to be the ticket for stopping this malady in its tracks. At the first sign, slather it on--works great. The manufacturer told me to consider replacing after 3yrs. My last bottle still worked after 20.....jesayin.

Tecnu Products Work Very Well as Part of an Overall Program to Keep from Getting Poison Oak Symptoms - Here's What I Do

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2014

I live in Central California and our rural property is covered in poison oak. Due to having to clear land for wildfire season, I have no choice but to work in it. I am very sensitive to poison oak, but have worked now for 6 weekends with no symptoms, after having had some bad run-ins. Here is what I do:

Before dressing: put something on my skin to help keep the oil from bonding in case it gets through. I actually use waterproof sunscreen, even on areas which will be under clothing, in case any oil gets through.

Dress well: I wear ordinary sneakers, with two pairs of heavy socks. I wear two layers of pants: a pair of cotton warmups underneath some fatigue-type pants. A long-sleeve cotton shirt. For gloves, I bought the heavy rubber chemical-resistant-type (facilitates cleanup) and the oil cannot soak through.

Timing: If you "know" you are exposing yourself to poison oak, do not do it for more than 2-3 hours, just in case any gets through.

Clean-up: The FIRST thing you should do is have a can of mineral spirits (paint thinner) and a rag. As others have noted, the oil is like a lacquer that dries on your skin and won't wash off with soap and water. Start by soaking the rag and cleaning any tools you used. I used to use Tecnu to clean my tools, but I realize that's not necessary, the paint thinner works just fine. Now wipe your gloves without taking them off. Next, wipe down your shoes. Pull off your shoes, then gloves before you go into the house. Next, go straight into the laundry room and as you undress, everything needs to go straight in. I have found that using ordinary detergent and hot water cleans everything just fine. Mix lights and darks, who cares, these are just your work clothes, right?

Get into the shower and use the regular Tecnu cleanser. I rub it on my hands, arms, legs, and face. Let it sit for a minute, then add more and rub again. Rinse with cool water. Then shower as normal with hot water, using soap and water. If you got the poison oak oil on you and didn't get it all off the hot water will open your pores and you'll start to feel the burn/itch of the poison oak. Here is where you use the "Extreme" Tecnu Scrub. Use it anywhere this irritation is starting to happen. It will scrub the oil off of your skin, and then the symptoms will be gone within an hour.

I have had 100% success avoiding symptoms since I started doing the above. It is amazing. BTW, I also like the Tecnu Calagel, whether for rash (though I haven't needed it any more) or for insect bites or cuts since it forms a skin protectant layer.

One Final Caution: When working in poison oak, you should always assume you have gotten it on you. Before you take a break to eat, drink, or use the bathroom, wipe down your rubber gloves with paint thinner, then pull your gloves off and wash your hands with Tecnu cleanser. Hope this helps, I am also going to post this under the Tecnu cleanser product.
