How do you remove poison ivy from clothing?

Answer 1

If you are trying to get it out of the ground, say its growing aside your house, your best way to kill it would be to pour gasoline on it and just let it soak into the soil, but it may kill any plants next to it. There is also some poison ivy killers, but they actually aren't as effective as gasoline.

If you are trying to get it off of your skin, there is really no way to completely just stop it. but you could try 'Ivy Dry' its a spray on liquid that you spray on the infected areas, and just leave it alone. But be aware it may burn and sting if you scratched open the boils from the poison ivy. It's also best to combine this with an anti-itch agent but if not, it works too.

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

Combine baking soda and vinegar and rub it on the rash. Or (BeatlesFan1999's answer) if it is a big rash, do that. If it is small like just on the palm of your hand, buy jumbo band-aids from Rite Aid, put some tooth paste on the soft part, rub it around on the soft part so it covers it, than place it on your hand. I did this with a bug bite & surprisingly, if you repeat the process for a few days or so, it heals and it doesn't itch.

Answer 3

There are specially formulated soaps that will wash off urushiol (the oily substance in poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac, that causes a skin reaction in many people). Brand names include Tecnu and Zanfel.

If you don't have those special soaps, use whatever soap you have available, but it is very important to use COLD water, because hot or even warm water can spread the oil over a larger area of your skin.

If it is really bad, you can usually put steroid cream on it from CVS or somewhere like that.
