Step 1: Pre-Treat the Stain
Before washing the briefs, you’ll need to pre-treat the stained area. Create a mixture using equal parts white vinegar and warm water, and lightly dab the stain with a soft cloth or sponge until the mixture has been completely absorbed. Leave mixture applied to the stained area for about 20 minutes, and then rinse with cold water before continuing to the next step.
Step 2: Wash the Briefs
Once pre-treating is done, you’re ready to wash the briefs. Make sure to check the care label first to make sure that the temperature and cycle settings are appropriate for the fabric type. Use a mild detergent, as harsh chemicals could cause remaining crayon stain to set in permanently.
Step 3: Dry Briefs
To ensure that all of the crayon residue is gone, make sure to dry the briefs on the lowest setting in tumble dryer, or hang them up to air dry. With heat-sensitive fabrics you may want to just air dry the briefs to prevent any shrinkage.
Step 4: Inspect the Stains
Once the briefs have been washed and dried, inspect the stained area to see if you can still detect any remnant of the crayon marks. If so, repeat steps 1 through 3.
Conclusion
Cleaning crayon stains from briefs doesn't need to be a chore. Following these simple steps will make for a much easier process, and get those unwanted stains out of your briefs in no time.
