What You'll Need
- A vacuum
- A stain remover
- Liquid detergent
- White vinegar
- A spray bottle
- Warm water
- A white cloth
Step 1: Vacuum the Stain
Using a vacuum cleaner, gently remove as much of the excess crayon wax as possible. This will reduce the stain so that it’s easier to clean.
Step 2: Apply a Stain Remover
Spray stain with a stain remover and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This should dissolve the crayon wax and break up the stain.
Step 3: Use Liquid Detergent
Mix liquid detergent into warm water and use a white cloth to dab at the stain. Rub gently in circular motions until the stain is lifted.
Step 4: Spray White Vinegar
Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spritz onto the stain. This will help to lift out any remaining residue. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Step 5: Rinse With Warm Water
Rinse the area with warm water and a cloth to remove any remaining stain and vinegar residue. Allow to air dry completely before wear.
