19. I use Dawn after every time I work in the garden

Poison Ivy has snuck into spots where I might not always see it plus other plants cause my skin distress. So as soon as I come back into the house I rinse with cold water and Dawn up and down my arms. It has made a huge difference in the amount of rashes and other irritations. Sometimes my legs need a good Dawn rinse, too.

Dawn is great stuff - no I don’t work for P&G 😁
