Method 1: Use Detergent and White Vinegar
Mix equal parts detergent and white vinegar in a small bowl or container and stir it together until it’s thoroughly blended. Dip a soft cloth into the mixture and dab it onto the stain until it’s completely saturated. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, then rinse it off with cool water. Repeat this process if necessary until the crayon stain is gone.
Method 2: Use Rubbing Alcohol
Saturate the stain with rubbing alcohol using a clean, soft cloth. Move the cloth in circular motions around the stain, working from the outside in to avoid spreading it further. Once stain has been saturated, sprinkle some baking soda onto the spot. Let the baking soda sit for 15 minutes before it is brushed off.
Method 3: Use OxiClean
Make a paste of OxiClean and water and then spread it over the stain. Leave the paste in place for 30 minutes, then rinse it off with cool water. If the stain is still present, repeat process.
