Materials You Will Need:
- A clean rag
- Paper towels
- Mild liquid detergent
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- Ammonia
Step 1: Soak the Stain
Start by soaking the stained area with lukewarm water. Allow it to sit for five or ten minutes to loosen the crayon, then blot it with a paper towel to remove any moisture.
Step 2: Treat Stain
Mix one teaspoon of mild liquid detergent with two tablespoons of white vinegar. Dip a clean rag into the mixture and dab it onto the stain. Keep dabbing until you’ve covered the entire area. Let it sit for a few minutes.
Step 3: Rinse the Stain
After a few minutes, rinse the area with lukewarm water. Blot with a paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
Step 4: Baking Soda and Ammonia Treatment
For stubborn stains, mix together half a teaspoon of baking soda and a few drops of ammonia. Rub it onto stain with a rag and let sit for a few minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water and blot dry.
Step 5: Dry the Capris
Once the stain is gone, hang up the capris in a warm, sunny spot. Do not put them in the dryer until they are completely dry.
