Tecnu Detox Wipes, Poison Ivy Wipes, Large Individual Towelettes Remove Rash-Causing Oil from Skin, Waterless, Also for Oak and Sumac, Camping Essentials, 12 Count

Been using Tecnu for almost two decades. These wipes are awesome. When I do yard work and I know I have been in contact with ivy I use these, I also use them during back pack trips and camping. They work great. I also use the liquid tecnu as well. This stuff has never damaged my clothes or gear. And I have used it to wipe down my dogs coat (fur) as well (Doberman). These are great too because I don’t have to carry a bottle in my backpacks.

I volunteer with Search and Rescue, and always have several of these in my pack, with more in my vehicle. They are big enough, and saturated with enough "juice" to wipe down my face and neck, then arms and hands, and still be useful for cleaning gear like my trekking poles or pack cover. All with a single wipe. The individual packaging allows me to hand them out to anyone on my team that has issues with poison oak, like one of my friends who is mildly allergic. Of course it's best to avoid exposure altogether... but if you must be exposed, or might be accidentally, these are a lifesaver.

Needed these wipes because I greet and pet my favorite friendly dog when I’m out walking. I’ve had poison several times now. Hopefully these wipes will avoid the poison.

This product works better than most products with the same claims of stopping itching.

Purchased for poison ivy and roof pitch…works well

So convenient when poison ivy only gets in small areas. No need for a full shower.

Because I had never been exposed to poison ivy before on any of my hikes over the last 40 years, I’ve just never paid much attention to looking for it. It took me several days to figure out what was happening. Again, even though I am a nurse, I’ve just never encountered this nightmare. So, me and my dog ended up bringing it into the vehicle and into our home. On day 2, once I started researching and understanding what was happening, I started cleaning everything. But it was everywhere. Places I simply didn’t even consider. Like the outside of the water bottle at my bedside and the remote control. Day 3, I awoke with my face swollen and eyes almost completely shut. I threw out everything to include all the nice bedding. The shoes which I had mistakenly tried to clean on day 2 and made things WAY worse with that dumb move, I had thrown those out too and the clothes from my hike. Everything! I kept bathing me and my dog as I went through the house cleaning. Day 4, I awoke with my throat swelling. So, while I could still breathe, I got myself to the ER. I still had hives from day 1 and they continued to spread all over my body as my immune system went into absolute overdrive. Lord have mercy! Today is day 5 and I am so grateful for these wipes. I awoke in the night and I touched something in the bathroom or on the nightstand, or maybe I missed cleaning a light switch, I’m not sure, and the allergic reaction immediately started up again. Itching! But now I was armed with knowledge and these wipes. I immediately ran and grabbed a pack, wiped myself down, my pet, and then grabbed used another wipe to backtrack and clean every surface I had touched. I have another pack at my bedside, just in case. I will keep these wipes at my side over the next several days as I’m sure there will be surfaces I haven’t thought of. Still have to clean the vehicle too but you can be rest assured, when I’m done, I’ll keep a few packs of these wipes in my vehicle too, just in case. For anyone who is going through this, I feel for you! As far as these wipes go, for me, they have literally helped save me life!

Been using since they came out, been using tecnu for decades, never fails to protect me. My on frustration is I want a larger pack, seems the wipes are not available in stores except in a kit. I clean me, tools, shoes, when working in yard.
