Step 1: Identify the Fabric Type of Your Blazer

Before you start tackling the stain, it’s important to identify what fabric your blazer is made of. Different fabrics require different cleaning methods, so knowing the type is important before moving on to the next step.

Step 2: Mix a Cleaning Solution

Mix one part dishwashing detergent and two parts cold water in a bowl or sink. Swirl the solution together to create suds, then add a few drops of lemon juice for extra cleaning power. The lemon will help remove any odors the crayon may have left behind.

Step 3: Test the Solution

Test the solution on a small inconspicuous area of your blazer to make sure it doesn’t cause any discoloration or fading. If it’s safe, move on to the next step.

Step 4: Apply the Solution

Soak a white cloth or paper towel in the cleaning solution. Gently dab the affected area with cloth and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Be sure not to rub fabric, as this could cause further damage.

Step 5: Rinse and Dry

Once the stain has been removed, rinse area with cold water. Use a dry white cloth to blot away any excess water. Finally, lay the blazer flat in a cool, shaded area and allow it to air dry.

Conclusion

That’s all it takes to clean crayon stains off your blazer! Once it’s dry, you can toss it back in your closet and be proud of its new, crayon-free look. And remember: if you’re ever unsure which cleaning method to use, take the garment to a professional cleaner for help.
