Product Description
Poison ivy, oak, or sumac rash is your body’s reaction to a resin found in all parts of the plant, called urushiol. Urushiol oil sticks around for a long time whether the plants are dead or alive. Tecnu Extreme effectively removes the oil from your skin with its unique formula.
Starting to itch? Hop in the shower and scrub your entire body with Tecnu Extreme as an easy all-over poison ivy wash. As the first crucial step in poison ivy rash treatment, you must remove the oil that causes the rash. This allows the skin to begin its natural healing process.
Removing any unbonded oil can also help prevent the rash from spreading. If you are still itching, you can follow up with a topical treatment such as Tecnu Rash Relief or Calagel Anti-itch Gel.
If you suspect you crossed poison ivy or oak, use Tecnu Extreme to remove urushiol before a rash begins. If you are hypersensitive, wash your entire body. The sooner you can cleanse away the rash-causing oil, the better chance you have of avoiding the rash. A good rule of thumb is to wash within 8 hours, but those who are more sensitive may need to remove it sooner.
Note: We realize our product has a funny name and it's likely you've seen it misspelled as Tech Nu or Technu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub.

I discovered your wonderful Tecnu Extreme scrub about 10 yrs ago when we moved to the country. I have never found another product so effective! My daughter has just moved to a heavily wooded area with her two horses and dogs. Of course, a happy horse is a rolling horse...then of course they need baths too. My daughter and myself are now both covered in PI...we must always remember our animals can spread it, especially if they sleep with you or roll in poison ivy. I'm ordering two of your kits now and thank you for making our world a better place with your great product!! Y'all rock! Virginia, in Texas.

FINALLY!!! I learned about your Poison Ivy & Oak Scrub from a friend last week! I have severely suffered from poison ivy all of my life. I even had to get shots in the summer as a kid and still couldn't go in the woods for fear of a bad case of rash and itching. After doing yard work a couple of weeks ago, guess who came up with a case of misery. Then that friend mentioned your product. I purchased it the next morning and HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE PLEASED… Since then I've been telling anyone who has the allergy or who knows someone who does! THANK YOU for this product!!! It is WONDERFUL !!!

I just used Tecnu for the first time and it was great. I ended up in some Poison Oak while shed hunting and developed a rash. I simply followed the instructions and the itching stopped immediately and the rash healed faster. I used it with the Anti-Itch Spray. I’m a believer.

Tecnu extreme is the best product I have encountered for poison sumac. I hunt in a swamp that has it everywhere and I cut it frequently. The only times I have a bad breakout is when I do not wash with the soap after I am done

I was hesitant to try your Tecnu Extreme product. Mostly because it came across as so much more expensive compared to the products it shares retail shelf space with. However, your 100% guaranteed message was convincing enough for me to give it a go. I'm glad I did. You product works. It's absolutely fantastic! My only regret is not trying it sooner. Well, now I'm know better. Thanks for bringing this truly effective product to market. Tecnu Extreme has earned a spot in my bugout bags.
