My son left a crayon in his pocket and melted all over everything in the dryer. Does anyone know of anything that will remove the crayon from our clothes? Please help.

Yes. Pour boiling water over it, you might have to sit it in boiling water for a couple of minuets. Then just wash it in the machine once the crayon melts again and washes out of the shirt from the boiling hot temperatures of the water.

Melted Crayon Out Of Clothes

I would assume that since most crayons are waxed based that the process you would use to get candle wax out would work for crayons. Take a paper towel or brown paper bag and lay it on top of the crayon/wax stain. With an iron thats on a low setting carefully hold it over the stain for a few seconds you should see the stain begin to adhere to the paper and be able to lift it off the clothing at that point.
Good luck.

Since it's made of wax, try taking a hot iron and placing a damp wash cloth in between the stain and the iron. The heat from the iron should melt the wax. The dyes from the crayon might still need to be pretreated with something then washed.

The paper and iron trick will work to get the wax out of the fabrics. The colors may not come out because they were set in the fabric by the heat of the dryer. I would try spraying with a stain remover like Shout and let them sit for a week before laundering. If the stains don't come out the first time I would try several more times before scrapping the clothes.
Good luck.

Scrape the fabric with a dull blade to get off as much excess crayon as you can. Then wash it in the hottest water safe for the type of fabric it is with 1-2 cups of baking soda.
Don' wash it with anything else and that should do it!

WD-40 PLACE THE STAINED AREA UNDER A PAD OF PAPER TOWLES AND SPRAY, LET STAND FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURN THE FABRIC OVER AND SPRAY OTHER SIDE LET SIT FOR 10 MIN OR SO AND WORK SOME UNDILUTED DISH SOAP INTO THE STAIN TO REMOVE THE CRAYON AND OIL. WASH IN THE HOTTEST WATER POSSIBLE.

lay cheesecloth on the spots and go over with a warm iron the wax will seep into the cheesecloth, when you get all u can with that go over the rest with ice cubes and flick the hard wax away its not 100 percent effective but the alternative is buying new clothes
