ANyone know how I can get crayon stain out of a Honda Pilot car seat?

Question

A box of crayons melted through a bag on the front seat of my Honda Pilot. I got the wax off, but there's a blue stain left on the beige leather seat. Anyone know what I could use to try and remove it?

Answer 1

Basically you have what is known as dye transfer where the colour from the crayons has dyed the leather.

You need to try Maxi Cleaner (this is specifically designed for removing dye transfer) and if this does not work it will require recolouring by a leather technican.

Always use leather protector on pale coloured leathers as this will inhibit this sort of damage and make cleaning easier.

DO NOT try any type of slovents or baby wipes or anything containing waxes or oils as this could make matters worse.

Some are impossible to get out, but you can try this: The best way to remove a crayon stain is with WD-40 (also effective at removing crayon from walls). Spray WD-40 on both sides of the crayon stain. Let the solution sit for 3-5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Rub dishwashing liquid into the stained area with a clean cloth, changing sections of the cloth as the crayon stain begins to bleed away. Repeat until the crayon is removed. Apply a stain remover stick, gel, or spray to the crayon stain. Let sit for 3-5 minutes. Wash in the hottest water that the fabric can safely tolerate.

First off you might want to try some diluted simple green, that should do the trick, spray it on a papertowel and use that to take it off the leather. Also you may want to try murphys oil soap I have leather seats in my Tuburon and I use the spray to clean them it does a great job. I also used to work in a leather tannery for 18 years so if neither of these work for you try using ordinary scotch tape! If all your seats are leather try this on another seat first just to make sure it doesn't pull the finish, it certainly shouldn't on a good quality tannage.
