What is the best way to remove melted crayon from a carpet (don't ask)?
Question:A cloth bag was left in the sun on a carpet, and the sun melted the crayon through the bag.
Answers:
The best way to remove wax/crayons from carpet is with an iron and brown paper bag, or craft paper. Set your iron to it's lowest setting (NO steam!). Put the brown paper bag/craft paper over the crayon mark and set the iron on top for a few seconds. The crayon will stick to the paper. Remove and replace with a clean piece of paper. Repeat until the crayon mark is fully removed. If you find the lowest setting on the iron is not sufficient to melt the crayon, increase the heat setting and try again.

well u can either get it out by repeadidly scrappnig something against it,,,,, like a ruler or a measuring stick, ect, or u need to heat it up and then remove it much easier
A slightly warm iron on paper towel - make sure it is white!
Scissors. ;)
Use a brown paper bag -put it on the crayon and iron over it with your iron - it may take several passes but should get all the crayon out.
Lay a towel over the crayons mess. Get your iron very hot. Iron over the towel.
i guess. . . by washing them off. . .
Get a brown paper bag, in pieces lay it over the spot and iron over the paper. The crayon will soak into the brown paper. Will take several times, but it works
Place paper towels on top of the area the slowly use hot iron on top of it. as the hot iron melts the paper towels will absorb the melting wax.
further heating will drive the crayons deeper into the carpet!! remember gravity!! plus you need to press the iron & paper bag on to the carpet it'll make a bigget mess,,if it's still lumpy, try putting dry ice for a few minutes over thr crayon, & used the vaccum to clean it up, be careful though, do not handlr dry ice with your bare hands!!
Place a brown paper bag over the crayons and iron the bag several times with the lowest setting of your iron. This will take Patience, but the paper bag will absorb the wax. You may then need to use a spray carpet cleaner to remove the color, if still visible. Good luck!
Not sure if this works, but WD40. It said it does on the website.
