Step 1: Prepare the Stain
The first step is to prepare the stain by scraping away as much of the crayon as possible. You can use a plastic putty knife to scrape at any built-up wax. Then, vacuum up any residue so that you don’t embed the crayon further into the fabric or paint.
Step 2: Apply Stain Remover
Next, you should apply a stain remover to area. There are a few good options available. For example, a mixture of dish soap and warm water can help to dissolve the crayon wax. You can also use a petroleum-based solvent such as WD-40. Simply spray it over stain and let it sit for about 15 minutes before rinsing it off.
Step 3: Rinse and Dry the Area
Once you have removed the crayon stain, rinse the area with warm water to remove any residue. Then, use a clean, dry cloth to blot the area and absorb any remaining moisture. Finally, allow the area to air dry completely before adding any furniture or other items.
