If you’ve ever had the misfortune of having your favorite jeans stained by crayon, you know what a pain it can be to get it out. Crayons are tricky to get rid of because their waxy texture makes them almost impossible to just wipe away. And if you put them in the washer, it only spreads them out more.
Fortunately, there is a way to remove those pesky crayon stains from your denim: by using a combination of white vinegar, baking soda, and laundry detergent. Here’s what you need to do:
- Start by mixing together ¼ cup of white vinegar and 1 tablespoon of baking soda into a bowl.
- Using an old cloth or rag, apply mixture to the stain, rubbing it in until the mixture is fully absorbed.
- Let the mixture sit on the stain for about fifteen minutes.
- Once mixture has had time to set, toss your denim in the washing machine with cold water and your regular laundry detergent.
- After washing, hang your jeans up to dry.
And voila! Your denim should be good as new, free from any crayon marks. If stain is still visible, just repeat the process until it disappears.
This same method works on other fabrics too, so if you find yourself in a similar predicament with a shirt or other article of clothing, just follow steps above and your clothes should be spick and span in no time!
