Getting poison ivy off kilts?

[Diles46]

Tec-nu is a great prduct...IF, you put it on before you make contact with the oils form the ivy. Oils have been known to stay on gardening gloves for entire months and still be potent enough to cause a rash when worn again. Just throw them in the wash and prepare to steam and pleat for the weekend.
The only way to get the oils off/out is warm water and soap. Good luck!

Go to your local health food store and buy a bar or two of soap with jewelweed extract in them. Jewelweed is a natural repelant to the oils in poison oak/ivy, and will remove them from skin. I'm frightfully allergic to those plants, and the jewelweed soap is the best thing I've found to remove their oils. I've never tried it on fabric, but I'd advise you to wash your woolens in cold water to avoid felting.

Don't know about the Jewelweed soap, but the sap of jewelweek (Impatiens capensis) works wonders on the rash. I don't get it, but the fair lass does, and severely. In years past, we'd harvest and freeze a supply of jewelweed so she'd have it in the winter.

It may be the soap is what you need.
