I believe if you take wax paper and a warm iron, you can iron the crayon to the wax paper and get it off of the clothes.

UGH, this happened to me a few mths ago, and I soaked the clothes that had the crayon on them in Oxyclean over night and then washed and some would come out and I just kept repeating till it all was out. It took about 4 times, but it did eventually come out.

Apply liquid dishwashing detergent and work into the stained area, replacing towelling as it absorbs the stain.

I've never personally tried this, but I heard that if you put wax paper over the crayon stain, then a cloth, and iron over it, the crayon comes off because it will stick to the wax paper since crayon is made of wax, too. It's worth a try!

/I work for Melaleuca and if you spray the solumel on the stains they will come right out - if you want I can order you the product or tell you more. I use their stuff and its great and really works.

If you go to the crayola website, they have a huge sections on how to get their products out of different types of materials, clothing, upholstry, whatever. My sister followed it when her son colored on her couch ans it worked great. Good Luck!

I had that problem too. I soaked everything in the bath tub in Mr. Clean for about an hour in very hot water. Then washed twice on warm and everything came out.
