In order to successfully remove a crayon stain from your favorite J Jill clothing item, it's important to identify the type of fabric. Different fabrics react best to different cleaning methods; for instance, softer garments may require a gentler approach. If you aren’t sure what type of fabric you’re dealing with, take a quick look at the care label — which should indicate the best cleaning method.
There are a few options when it comes to removing a crayon stain from J Jill clothing. Make sure to apply stain remover to the back of the fabric first to avoid leaving a stain on front. You can use a mild dish detergent or a mixture of water and rubbing alcohol to tackle the crayon stain. For stubborn marks, try spraying the area with a pre-wash stain remover.
Once you've prepped stain remover, start blotting the mark with a clean cloth or sponge. It's important to use only light pressure while scrubbing, as vigorous scrubbing could damage the fabric or drive the stain deeper into the fibers. Blot the stain from the outside inwards to prevent the stain from spreading.
If stain is particularly stubborn, you may need to repeat above steps multiple times before it's gone. After each scrubbing session, make sure to rinse the area with cold water to get rid of any leftover detergent residue. Once you're satisfied that the stain has been completely removed, toss garment into the washing machine and launder as normal.
Finally, keep your J Jill clothing items safe by protecting them from future messes. Covering furniture and other surfaces with a protective sheet or fabric can greatly reduce the chance of making a mess. You should also always consider spot cleaning any stained items as soon as possible, as this will give you the best chance of properly getting out tough stains.
