Step 1: Start by Pre-Treating the Stain

Begin by pre-treating the stain on your sarong. Use some gentle detergent to make a paste. Apply the paste to the stained area and let it sit for 20 minutes. This will help to break down the oils in crayon.

Step 2: Wash the Sarong in Hot Water

Next, put the sarong in the washing machine and wash it on the hottest water temperature setting recommended for item. Make sure to use a gentle detergent. If possible, use a color-safe bleach or oxygenated bleach to help remove any remaining stain. Once the cycle is finished, remove the sarong and check for any lingering stain.

Step 3: Cleaning with Rubbing Alcohol

If any stain remains after washing, pour a few drops of rubbing alcohol directly onto the fabric. Gently rub the area with a soft cloth or sponge until the stain is gone. Rinse the sarong after you're done and let air dry or put it in the dryer.

Step 4: Reapply Detergent Paste and Repeat Steps

If the stain is still not removed after using rubbing alcohol, put a little detergent back onto the area and repeat steps 2 and 3. It may take several tries, but eventually, you should be able to get rid of the crayon stain.
