How Can I Fix Poison Everything Shoes?


I wound up having to trek thorugh a field yesterday. I know I probably came into contact with poison ivy and everythign like it. I am fine as I took care of myself promptly. At the time I was wearing leather shoes. I'm trying to figure out my best way to get any bad plant stuff of my shoes (more particularly the inside of the shoe which has fabric). The shoe manufacturer is eco.

Clothes, shoes (don't forget those Laces!), tools, and anything else that may have been in contact with the urushiol should be wiped off with alcohol and water. Be sure to wear gloves or otherwise cover your hands while doing this and then discard the hand covering.

The active ingredient in Poison Ivy can be active for months to years on clothes. The sap is so potent, you can pass it from object to object a dozen times just by light contact, and the last object can still cause an intense rash.
