Is poison oak pretty much the same as poison ivy in terms of washing the resins/oils off? We used to use plain 'ol Ivory Soap. "It floats". It also scrubs off poison oak oils pretty well. And it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Clorox is what I've used
I usually get poison ivy a couple of times a year. Hiking, hunting, riding ANYTHING out in the woods. i started to carry a small bottle of bleach in the car and a washcloth to wipe down with after my activities. Haven't had it since IF I remeber to bring the bleach!
Bleach (onced opened) looses its potency real quick. Buy the smallest bottle to suit your needs. (I do R&D for a major detergent company
)
