Hi everyone, I've been enjoying this site as a great source of info on how to deal with my week long rash. I was wondering if anyone knows how to remove the oils from carpet, sofa cushions, etc... I keep getting new rashes everywhere, and I'm determined to get rid of any oil that I may have missed so that my husband and kids don't get any on themselves. I have a bunch of Orange Glo, but I don't know how that would work on the above surfaces and if it would do more harm than good. I removes grease really well from my kitchen cabinets, but I read on the packaging that it could make surfaces really slippery. Also, it's made from orange oil so I don't know how effective it would be in removing the urushiol oil. Has anyone used Technu on carpets? Thanks a bunch for your time and assistance! Vivian
