Crayon Melted on Clothing in Dryer
To remove crayon stains that have been melted onto clothing in the dryer, place the stained surface down on pad of paper towels, spray with WD-40, let stand a few minutes, turn fabric over and spray the other side. Apply liquid dishwashing detergent and work into the stained area, replacing towelling as it absorbs the stain. Wash in hottest water possible with laundry detergent and bleach for about 12 minutes (use heavy soiled setting if there is no minute timer on your machine) and rinse in warm water. Special Note:Heat sets stains so clean the drum of your dryer to remove any remaining wax residue by spraying a soft cloth with WD-40, and wiping the drum. Run a load of dry rags through a drying cycle to ensure that your drum is clean. Good Luck! =)
Oxy Clean works really well on other things. It might work with crayons. Check online. there are a ton of laundry sites out there.
try this product called ''goo b gone'', its a clear liquid that will remove just about any stain and try ''simple green''.
Try citrus cleaner and denatured alcohol.
spray with WD40 let it soak for 5 minuted then wash again
The only way to remove this is to get a pot of water add a sliced lemon and the shirt ,boil on the stove for at least 15 minutes, leave the shirt in the pot until the next day and rinse in cold water. I just hope that the shirt is not 100% cotton if it is do not fallow these instruction.
It's not likely the crayon will come out.
get a regular brown paper bag and place shirt on bag with several layers of paper towel next to shirt. Use hot iron and in a up and down motion ( to prevent smearing any more ) iron area that crayon is move paper towels frequently to get most of color removed This might take several trys Brown bag is very good to absorb all wax spills
Lay the shirt out on a table or ironing board, and heat it up with a direct blast from a hair dryer. As soon as it starts to melt at all dab at it with a paper towel. You must dab. Do not rub as that will just press the wax in even further. Repeat as often as needed to get the wax out. There will still be the stain from the dye, but then you should be able to get that out by rubbing in a good dollop of SHOUT stain remover, and let that sit for a bit. Then wash with your regular detergent.
Good luck.
