Plus, I was Minty-Fresh for my students today on their first day of school (wish I could say the same for some of them).

I use rubbing alcohal. I am just getting over poison ivy all over my hand and that made it clear up fast!!

I just saw this on the Fels Naptha website:

Fels-NapthaŽ is the golden bar with the clean naptha odor. Excellent for pre-treating greasy, oily stains like perspiration stains and ring-around-the collar. Fels-NapthaŽ has stood the test of time for over 100 years so you know it really works.
Fels-NapthaŽ is a time-tested stain remover and pre-treater working especially well on oil-based stains. Just rub the stain with a wet bar of Fels-NapthaŽ Soap. Let it sit for a few minutes and wash as usual. Fels-NapthaŽ especially works great on stains made by:
Chocolate
Perspiration
Baby Formula
Make-up

Poison ivy resin can remain on your clothes for over 1 year. Washing with Fels-NapthaŽ will eliminate the dangerous resin from your clothing. Thoroughly wash all of your exposed clothing including hats, gloves, coats and pants in shaved or grated Fels-Naptha (about 1/16th of the bar). This will effectively remove the poison ivy resin and prevent further outbreak.
No wonder millions of people for over 100 years have been saying, "Nothing can take the place of my Fels-NapthaŽ!"
