What You Need
- White vinegar
- Laundry detergent
- Baking soda
- A toothbrush or clean cloth
Step by Step Guide
- Start by blotting the stain as soon as possible using a clean cloth or paper towel. This will absorb any excess wax and reduce the amount of crayon that has to be removed.
- Apply a generous coating of white vinegar over the affected area. Let it sit for a few minutes so it can break down the wax.
- Mix together a paste of laundry detergent and baking soda. Apply a thick layer over the crayon stain.
- Using a toothbrush, scrub the paste into the fabric in a circular motion. This will help loosen and lift the crayon from fibers.
- Rinse area thoroughly with cold water. Use a clean cloth to blot the area dry.
- For stubborn stains, repeat the process until stain is removed. Once the stain is gone, launder the item as normal.
