How can I get melted crayons out of my car seats?.....STAIN??

Question

My little sister left crayons in my car and it melted all over the seats!!! How can I get out the stain??

Answer 1

I'm still thinking about this one too. My kids did the same thing. I'm thinking of trying dissolve-it or Goo-gone. Both are supposed to remove crayon. I've had good success with the dissolve-it on walls, but have never tried it on the velour fabric. My deats are gray, so chances of discoloration from the chemical are less than if the seats were a dark color.

Another possibility is to take paper towels or the brown paper bags and a hot iron. Lay the paper over the crayon and iron until hot. The heat melts the crayon and the paper absorbs the wax. Use new sections of the paper or new paper until no more wax is absorbed by the paper. The only problem may be that the color from the crayon will be left in the fabric and the heat will set the color. I haven't tried the iron because the crayon I have on my seats is red and blue.

Lastly, you might scrape off what you can and then use the dissolve-it or one of the waterless hand cleaners to remove more. The waterless hand cleaners are designed to break down oils, so they might work. I would test any chemical in an inconspicuous spot before using on the seat.

Try an ice cube to harden it then peel it off.Then if there is still a stain put some vinegar in a spray bottle and spray it next put a light dusting of baking soda on that it will start to bubble let sit a few minutes then take a old toothbrush make sure it is clean and brush gently so you don't get a snag in material then rince off baking soda. if you still smell vinagar it should go away but you could wash it down with a little dish soap and water

Crayon on Upholstery
To get crayon marks off upholstery, first scrape excess crayon off with a dull-edge knife or metal spoon. Spray with WD-40 and let stand a few minutes. With a small, stiff bristle brush work crayon stain and wipe with paper towels. Respray with WD-40 and apply liquid dishwashing detergent on the sprayed area; work in with the brush and wipe stain away with a damp sponge. If stain remains, repeat the procedure.:)

Answer 4

Wax is one thing you may never get all the way out. You might try taking a hair dryer and melt the wax the best you can and dab it up with a cotton cloth. Or take a white face cloth and put it over the wax and gently use a warm iron on it and it should suck up the wax into the face cloth. There may be some products sold at the autoparts stores that will help also. Good Luck with it.

Answer 5

Make sure the cloth place over the brown paper is thick enough or it'll melt right into your iron's metal plate. You could also place another piece of brown paper on top of the cloth if you're worried.

Answer 6

Put the waxpaper(BEST) or thick fabric over the crayon and place the iron on top its heat the crayon up and the wax paper will absorb the hot wax. it worked great on my carpet.

Answer 7

You may try news paper and a hot iron.
Or lunch bags and hot iron. I can't guarantee this will work but no one else has answered you. Sounds terrible, I wish you luck.
