Steps to Remove Crayon from Lingerie
- First, immediately scrape off as much Crayola as you can with a blunt instrument, like a butter knife or spoon.
- If the stain has had time to dry, dampen it with warm water and gently rub it with a soft bristled brush.
- Gently rub a small amount of liquid detergent or stain remover onto stained area with a white cloth.
- Carefully rinse the stained area with cold water until the stain disappears.
- Soak the garment in a sink filled with cold water and a capful of detergent for 15-30 minutes.
- Rinse the garment thoroughly and lay it flat on a clean towel in a well-ventilated place to air dry.
- Once the garment is completely dry, inspect the area for any remaining stain.
- If any trace remains, repeat Steps 2-7 until the stain is gone.
Additional Tips
- Do not use hot water as this might cause the stain to set.
- Always check label on your garment to ensure the stain removal product is suitable for use.
- Only use a white cloth as dyes from colored cloths can transfer onto the garment.
- Avoid using bleach as this can damage the fabric.
