How do I remove Crayons from clothing?
First, spray or sponge the crayon stain with dry cleaning solvent like perchloroethylene or
trichloroethylene. Then rub with heavy-duty liquid laundry detergent and rinse thoroughly.
Second, soak the stained garment in a weak solution of all-fabric powdered bleach.
If the above steps do not remove the crayon stain you can try soaking the garment in a dilute
solution of liquid chlorine bleach and water if the clothing is white or light colored.
Warning - bleaching damage to colored garments is irreversible. Also, since bleaching can
alter the color of the garment, bleach the whole garment and not just a spot. If the stain is
not gone in 15 minutes, it cannot be removed by bleaching and further bleaching will only
weaken the fabric.
