What You'll Need
- Liquid laundry detergent
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
- Old toothbrush
How To Clean
- Start by scraping off any excess crayon using a dull knife. Be sure not to press too hard as this may cause the stain to spread or become deeper in the fabric.
- Next, mix 1 teaspoon of detergent and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar in a bowl with a couple cups of warm water.
- Dip a clean cloth or old toothbrush into the mixture and gently scrub the stain.
- Rinse the affected area with cold water until all of the cleaner has been removed.
- If the stain is still there, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of warm water and apply directly to the stain. Gently scrub with a toothbrush before rinsing with cold water.
Additional Tips
- Be sure to test any cleaner you use on a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric first.
- Always blot stain, do not rub or scrub it.
- Be sure to check for colorfastness before attempting to remove the stain.
