How to remove Crayons (Regular) from fabrics-fresh stains/heat-set stains(melted):
# Materials Laundry detergent

Spray a soft cloth with WD-40, and wipe the drum. Run a load of dry rags through a drying cycle to ensure that your drum is clean.

Once my daughter left a purple crayon (like Harold's) in the pocket of her white sweat shorts and I washed it with an entire load of whites. Everything but the free Salem cigarette tee shirt had purple crayon marks on them. I sprayed each spot with cheap aerosol hair spray (Aqua Net) and washed the clothes. It took several washings (NEVER drying afterwards) but I was able to get almost all the marks off. The last time when there was a bit of color left I did use "Shout" and that, too helped. I also cleaned the dryer and ran a load of old towles to try and absorb any crayon that might have been left over there.

Take an previous white towel, one you could throw away, and saturate it in bleach. verify which you do wring it out, then placed it on your dryer and run it on a cycle for about 30 minutes. After that cycle is accomplished, verify the dryer partitions to work out if all of the crayon is long previous. If no longer, take yet another previous white towel and repeat the technique. when you have bumped off all of the crayon, take an previous colored towel moistened with somewhat water and run it by a cycle. do this a pair of cases to make useful all of the bleach is out of the dryer. finally take an previous colored rag, run it by to make useful it does not get any bleach stains on it in the previous you employ the dryer to your outfits. This worked whilst my sister have been given ink throughout her new dryer.

use WD-40 or GOO Gone. spray WD- 40 to the crayon on one side placing white paper towel on the other side. then do the same to the other side. let set for a few mintues before going to the next side. then take dish soap work that in on both sides. wash in hot water in colored safe bleach detergent.check stain before drying. repeat if not gone! getting ready to try this myself.

Try ironing the area with some tissue or paper towel inbetween the iron and the clothing. the wax will heat up and be soaked up by the tissue. then rewash or soak the get the rest out. good luck.

unfortunately there is not. melted wax on clothes is just as bad as dye. the only way to get it out is to try and bleach it out.
