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


Cleaning Materials
Bleach for colored clothing (Clorox 2® or Biz®)
Laundry detergent
Liquid dishwashing detergent
Paper towels
WD-40® (car part lubricant)

Stain Removal Tips
Place the stained surface down on pad of paper towels, spray with WD-40, let stand a few minutes, turn fabric over and spray the other side. Apply liquid dishwashing detergent and work into the stained area, replacing towelling as it absorbs the stain. Wash in hot water with laundry detergent and bleach for about 12 minutes (use heavy soiled setting if there is no minute timer on your machine) and rinse in warm water.

Special Note:Heat-Set Stains-Clean the WD-40 residue from the drum by washing with liquid dish soap and water. Run a load of dry rags through a drying cycle to ensure that your drum is clean.
