Step 1: Scraping
Scrape up as much of excess crayon from the fabric with a blunt knife. This will make it easier to get rid of the remaining stain.
Step 2: Rubbing Alcohol Solution
Mix rubbing alcohol with a small amount of cold water. Dip a cotton swab into this solution and gently blot the stain until it disappears.
Step 3: Borax Solution
Mix borax and cold water together until it forms a paste. Apply this paste to stain and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then, rinse with cold water and launder as normal.
Step 4: Laundry Detergent
If any of the stain remains after laundering, apply a small amount of laundry detergent directly onto the spot. Rub gently in a circular motion until the stain lifts away. Rinse with cold water and launder as normal.
