How to use

Before the rash has started:

Apply Tecnu to exposed unwetted skin within 8 hours after exposure to poisonous plants.

Rub vigorously for 2 minutes to remove oil and other contaminants from skin. If hyper-sensitive, wash entire body with Tecnu.

Rinse skin clean with cool running water or wipe off with a cloth. Repeat.

As soon as rash appears:

  1. Apply Tecnu to affected skin and surrounding areas. For best results apply to entire body. Rub in for 2 minutes but avoid breaking the skin.
  2. Rinse with cool running water to remove Tecnu and poison oils. If itching persists, reapply Tecnu, then rinse in a very warm shower (not a bath).
  3. Towel dry gently
  4. Repeat as necessary and before retiring.

To clean pets:

  1. Saturate a cloth with Tecnu and wipe down the pet's coat.
  2. Follow with pet shampoo and water bath.
  3. Tecnu can also remove skunk spray from your pet's fur.

To clean clothing:

  1. Saturate unwetted clothing with Tecnu in a bucket for several minutes.
  2. Launder by itself with detergent and hot water.
  3. Check for color fastness by testing a concealed corner of the fabric.

To clean tools:

  1. Wipe down tools with a cloth saturated with Tecnu.
  2. Wash with soap and water.

To remove sap and pitch:

  1. Apply Tecnu directly and rub until stain dissolves to clean pitch, tree sap, road tar, grass stains and other substances from skin, tools and clothing.

Think you ran into poison ivy? No worries! Tecnu Original Outdoor Skin Cleanser is a poison ivy wash created to combat urushiol. This effective yet gentle soap is the first line of defense against a potential rash. It works to wash away the oil before it takes hold.

It's best to act within the first 8 hours after exposure. Apply Tecnu Original directly to dry skin, massaging thoroughly for two minutes. Rinse with cool or tepid water to remove the rash-causing oil.

If you are not near a water source. you can simply wipe it off with a cloth. Remember, time is of the essence. The sooner you act, the higher your chance of preventing the rash altogether.

Even if a poison ivy or oak rash develops, Tecnu Original remains your ally. Removing unbonded urushiol oil will prevent further spread.

And beyond the immediate application, Tecnu Original safeguards your gear. Apply it to potentially contaminated objects like tools, clothing, or pet fur. Coming in contact with objects that have urushiol on them can start a new rash.

So, ditch the itch and embrace the adventure! With Tecnu Original by your side, every trail becomes a possibility, not a potential itchy nightmare. Get your bottle of freedom today!

Fun fact: The name "Tecnu" was given by its inventor (Doctor Robert Smith), meaning "technically new"; you have likely seen it misspelled as Tech Nu or Technu Outdoor Skin Cleanser.
