The sight of crayon stains on your favorite chinos can be frustrating especially if you don't know what to do. Luckily, there are several simple and effective ways to remove crayon from chinos without damaging the fabric. Here are some tips for getting rid of those unwanted smudges:
- Start by rubbing a damp cloth gently over stained area. This will help loosen any dirt or crayon on the surface.
- If the stain is still there, use a small amount of mild detergent mixed with warm water. Dip a soft bristled brush into the solution and rub it onto the stained area. Make sure to always test the solution on a small inconspicuous area first to make sure it won't damage the material.
- If stain remains, try using a few drops of liquid dish soap and a clothes brush. Rub the solution onto the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing off.
- If the stain is still visible, apply a dry-cleaning solvent and blot the area with a rag or cloth. Once the stain has been removed, rinse the area with cold water and let it air dry.
These steps should help remove crayon stains from your chinos with minimal effort. If all else fails, it's best to take them to dry cleaner as soon as possible.
