Tecnu is most effective when used within the first two hours after exposure or as soon as rash appears. Before the rash has started: 1. Apply Tecnu to exposed unwetted skin within 2-8 hours after exposure to poisonous plants. 2. Rub vigorously for 2 minutes to remove oil and other contaminants from skin. If hyper-sensitive, wash entire body with Tecnu. 3. Rinse skin clean with cool running water or wipe off with a cloth. Repeat. As soon as rash appears: 1. Apply Tecnu to affected skin and surrounding areas. For best results apply to entire body. Rub in for 2 minutes but avoid breaking the skin. 2. Rinse with cool running water to remove Tecnu and poison oils. If itching persists, reapply Tecnu, then rinse in a very warm shower (not bath). 3. Towel dry gently. Repeat as necessary and before retiring. To Clean: Pets - Saturate a cloth with Tecnu and wipe down the pet's coat. Follow with a pet shampoo and water bath. Tecnu can also remove skunk spray from your pet's fur. Clothing - Saturate unwetted clothing with Tecnu in a bucket for several minutes. Launder by itself with detergent and hot water. Tools - Wipe down with a cloth saturated with Tecnu. Wash with soap and water. Tree Sap/Pitch - Apply Tecnu directly and rub until stain dissolves to clean pitch, tree sap, road tar, grass stains and other substances from skin, tools and clothing.
