<b>CRAYON REMOVAL</b>


<b>Fabrics:</b>

Place the article of clothing with your childs beautiful art work between paper towels.

Press it with a warm iron.

Repeat this process with a new paper towel.

Then clean with dry-cleaning solvent.

<b>Wallpaper:</b>

Put a commercial spot remover on the surface.

Let it dry.

Then simply brush the crayon off.

How To Clean Crayon Stains From Clothes

Difficulty: Average

Time Required: 20 minutes

Here's How:
1. Place the stained clothes on a white cloth or a few white paper towels.

2. Spray WD-40 or apply a product such as Goo Gone onto the stain. Let this stand for a few minutes.

3. Turn the clothing over and apply WD-40 or Goo Gone to the other side of the stain; again, let this stand for a few minutes.

4. Take some dishwashing detergent and work this into the stain on both sides.

5. Wash in hot water with a detergent containing color-safe bleach, such as Cheer with Bleach. Or use a regular detergent and add color-safe bleach.

Wash & wear undershirts prevent underarm perspiration from showing.

6. Check the clothing before drying to ensure that the crayon stain is gone. If not, then repeat washing.

Tips:
WD-40 can be found in most grocery, hardware, and auto parts stores.
Goo Gone can usually be found in the laundry section of your grocery store.
It might take several washings for all of the stain to come out of the clothes.

My son had a pocket full of crayons in his shorts and they were washed and dried and now there are crayon stains all over a complete load of laundry how do I get it out of the clothes and the dryer? Michelle from New Oxford, PA

Do the kerosene wash, pour some kerosene on the stain area and wash well or dip the clothes in washing soda, with the soap powder for one hour and wash it well and brush it. If it is a white cloth do some ala wash too. (09/28/2007)

What is goo gone and where can you buy it? Also what is washing soda and where can you buy it. (b)Editor's Note:(/b) Goo Gone can be found at most any hardware store, usually in the painting section. http://www.googone.com/products_gg.aspx Washing soda can be found in the laundry section.
