Crayon stains are a common occurrence when it comes to raincoats due to the sticky nature of wax crayons. If not treated properly, crayon stains can be quite difficult to remove, but with the right cleaning methods, you can get rid of them easily and efficiently. Here's how:

  • Step 1: Start by rubbing the stained area with a damp cloth to remove any excess crayon wax. Make sure to use a gentle motion so as not to damage fabric.
  • Step 2: Now prepare a solution of warm water and white vinegar in a bowl. Dip the cloth into the mixture and wring it out before dabbing the stained area gently.
  • Step 3: For tougher stains, you may need to mix a few drops of liquid laundry detergent with the water and vinegar mixture. Let the solution sit for 10 minutes before removing it with a clean towel or cloth.
  • Step 4: If the stain persists after following the above steps, you can try using a commercial solvent cleaner designed specifically for removing crayon stains from fabrics. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer carefully.
  • Step 5: Finally, launder the garment in cold water and hang to dry.

By following these steps, you can easily eliminate crayon stains from your raincoat and restore it to its former glory.
