Removing Crayon Stains from Fabric
- Gather materials: An old toothbrush, laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, white vinegar, and a dry cleaning solvent (optional).
- Blot away excess wax using paper towel or a white cloth.
- Create a mixture of water and laundry detergent. Apply it to the stained area with an old toothbrush and gently scrub. Continue until the stain has lifted.
- Mix together warm water and two drops of dishwashing soap. Sponge mixture onto the stain and rinse off with cool water.
- Dab a small amount of white vinegar on the remaining stain. Allow to sit for a few minutes and then rinse with cool water.
- If the stain persists, apply a dry cleaning solvent to the garment and let it soak for several hours. Launder as usual afterwards.
Tips for Keeping Your Robe Stain-Free
- Spot treat stains immediately, as this will make them easier to remove.
- Avoid using hot water when spot treating, as this may set in the stain.
- Pre-treat stains on the reverse side of the fabric before laundering.
- Wash colors separately from whites.
- Use gentle cycles and cool water.
- Air dry your garments whenever possible.
Conclusion
By following these simple steps, you can efficiently clean and restore your robe to its original condition. Remember to be patient and persistent when removing tough stains, and always spot treat before laundering.
