Crayon off Clothes

I've removed crayon stains as well as candle wax with an iron and a brown paper bag. Put the clothes (tablecloth, whatever) on the ironing board, then the paper bag and then iron over the spot that's stained. The paper bag is usually able to pull out the waxy/oily stain from the item with no problem. Keep moving the bag around until it's all gone. I've even used this technique to get candle wax out of carpeting (don't ask).

Crayons are made different with different brands so it may not always work but it's worth a try.

Just to let you know, the color in crayons is an oily substance. You have to attack it that way. Google "Heloise" from Good Housekeeping magazine. SHe is a wiz at stain removal.

OH my I sort of know how you feel my brother leaves stuff in his pockets all the time and pens are his fave and lord that's a mess That stains and you cant get it out lol but i really don't know about crayons I would say try spray-n-wash or shout i love that stuff it works great but like i said IDK about crayons you could Google it hold on i will do that brb with a comment on what i find

hope that help you out!!

Rit Super Stain Remover (by the same company that makes the dyes--available at most grocery stores) has worked for me. You have to pour it on each stain and then let it sit for awhile before you wash. You may have to repeat a couple of times. Good luck!

Try Simple Green. It works wonders!

Becky has it right on the nose, iron with paper bag, paper towels will work too. It may not get the color out, but it will get the wax out of the clothes. Then you treat the color stain with a stain remover.

Becky, yes, the process does work on carpeting. But, we need to warn everyone reading this that you have to be very careful because the heat from the iron can melt synthetic fibers in some carpets. Berber carpet should be the least worrisome because it is a natural fiber, not synthetic. You can also clean berber carpet with bleach water without it taking out the color because of it being a natural fiber.

I, too, had to once clean up candle wax from carpet. My roommate and I had one of those large 3 wick candles on the coffee table. It sprung a leak, ran off the coffee table and pooled on the carpet below. It was quite a sight. But, the iron, papertowel, then bleach water (we had berber carpet) set up took the stain right out. I worked at a flooring store at the time. That's how I learned this trick.

I use a couple of different things to get the dye out. If it's oily, the oil will stain as well as the dye so you may have to use a couple different substances.

I use non-toxic cleaners only so I love the paper bag idea. Try that first then try out these:

You can find the following Get Clean items here... www.ammas-http://ammas-mahma.myshaklee.com/us/en/category...;
And for the EcoSense:

Basic-H - Soak with water in a sink or bucket; a few drops in water
Get Clean Laundry - directly on the fabric, let sit, then wash
EcoSense PreSpot stain remover- dilute with water in spray bottle then spray the stain, let sit & wash.
I would wash with Get Clean or EcoSense Laundry Wash. They both work great and are super concentrated so they will save you money too.
Don't ever dry the fabric in a heated dryer until the stain is gone. Heat will sometimes set the stain in, especially oil. That makes me question the paper bag idea but I'm not a scientist, just a practicing mom.

Call me for the EcoSense or google online. I know someone who could get it for you.

Hope this helps,
Tes

Resolve multifabric should work. My son recently drew train tracks (about six feet long) on brand new carpet. I sprayed Resolve multifabric on it and scrubbed it in with a scrub brush and they have disappeared, just like the miracle I prayed for.

try oxyclean in withthe wash, let it soak for awhile and then restart also era detergent might work. Have used both on all kinds of stains and crud on the clothes and it worked, for me. Good luck----just wait til they put a ink pin in there (the same will work on that)

Spray the stains with WD 40 and rewash. They should come right out.

Try that Carbona cleaning stuff. HEB sells it at the end of their laundry aisle. It is in a colored container that is thin and oddly shaped; it is slanted. The bottles are color coded to match the stains you are trying to get rid of. This stuff got out oil stains that had already set onto dried clothes!

Good luck!
