Crayon Stain Removal from Clothing
To remove crayon stains from clothing, first you need to scrape the stain with a butter knife to ensure that as much crayon is removed as possible. Then, if you scrub it with a non-gel toothpaste it should remove the stain. Wash as usual after the treatment. You could also try soaking it with a purchased pre-treatment solution before washing if the toothpaste doesn´t do the trick. ...Good Luck!...=)
1 Melted Crayon + 1 Load of Laundry = 1Big Uh-Oh!
There's tons of advice on how to get crayon out of clothing but so far the most recommended is: 20 Mule Team Borax and hot water.
Soak the clothing in the hottest water possible with the Borax. Follow measurement directions for your load size to the tee- Borax has a tendency to be hard on fabrics. Wash your clothes and check the results. Depending on the amount of damage done by the crayon, you may need to wash more than once.
The only thing I can think of is to call a professional cleaner and ask what they would suggest. You might try peroxide. My husband uses all the time on his nurses scrubs to get blood out.
