Poison ivy help?
Have you ever heard of OdoBan? It is the best thing I have ever used. It kills most germs and allergens. I buy it at Sams. Comes in a gallon jug and you dilute it to refill the spray bottle that comes with it. Very pleasant smelling. Try it. You will be glad you did.
Reply:Oh. I think it might take fire.





I did read one time that vodka fights poison ivy, but that was on skin. You might try washing with vodka, but you risk the chance of catching the dreaded itches. Also, washing with vodka could be very expensive. I think I would burn it all and start anew.
Reply:I myself would try washing it in Dawn dish detergent. It will strip the oils from the fabrics nicely since it works well on grease spots as well. If you get it on your skin and know you have touched it, find a weed called the jewel weed. It always grows close to patches of poison ivy. Break the stems and rub the juices on the part of the body the ivy touched. It works wonders, a natural remedy for most.
Reply:every time you touch these things you will be exposed to poison ivy. If they are not terribly expensive, use rubber gloves and throw it alll away, gloves and all!


Putting these things in your washer will just expose your home to the oil.


DON'T DO IT - REALLY
