On this page we will show you how to prevent a poison ivy rash before it begins with a few simple techniques for proper washing. Much like grease, Urushiol oil is not easy to clean off and you have to be very careful to get every bit of it off your skin to avoid the rash, so you have to be sure to remove all of it as it is easy to miss spots between the fingers and elbow creases for example.
The good news is, it doesn’t matter what soap you use, my preference is Dawn dish soap, but any soap will work and there is no need to buy expensive products. What is most important to know is that it is vital that you use a wash cloth or loofah to scrub the area well as the secret to removing Urushiol oil is the FRICTION not the soap.
