Can you treat heavy duty welders gloves to kill poison ivy residue or

Welders gloves might be overkill but I just want to know if I can
reuse them. Thank you.

Urushiol cannot be deactivated by normal means, and is very persistent. The
only solution is to remove it with detergents, but I do not know if these
would work with leather. More importantly, if you have ever had a reaction
to the resin in poison ivy, you would know that the only answer is, "no,
throw them away".

In other words, if you told me I had to pay you $50 or I "might" get contact
dermatitis, you would have $50.
