Removing Crayon from Leather
- Blot stain with the cloth or paper towels to lift and remove as much of the crayon as possible.
- Mix 1 tablespoon of laundry detergent with 1 cup of warm water and stir until frothy.
- Dip the cloth into the mixture and blot the area, working from the outside edge to the center to avoid spreading the stain.
- Mix a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 1 part water, and pour onto another cloth. Blot the area again, working from outer edges in.
- Sprinkle baking soda over stained area and allow it to sit for 15 minutes. Vacuum up baking soda, if needed, or brush it away with the soft cloth.
- Repeat the laundry detergent/water and vinegar/water steps until stain is gone.
