What You Will Need

  • A sponge or cloth
  • Laundry detergent
  • White vinegar
  • A toothbrush (optional)

Step-By-Step Guide

  1. Begin by dampening the stain with lukewarm water. Be sure not to rub the area, as this will only make the stain worse.
  2. Apply a bit of laundry detergent directly onto crayon stain.
  3. Gently rub fabric together to create a lather. Do not scrub too hard, as this can damage the-shirt fabric.
  4. Rinse the stained area with warm water.
  5. If the crayon stain persists, try repeating steps 2 and 3.
  6. If the stain is still present, soak the garment in a mixture of 1 liter of hot water and 1/2 cup of white vinegar for 15 minutes.
  7. After soaking, rinse the stained area with warm water.
  8. If the stain is still visible, use the toothbrush to work a small amount of liquid laundry detergent into the fibers of the fabric in a gentle circular motion.
  9. Rinse the t-shirt with warm water and then throw it in the washer for a regular cycle.
  10. Finally, hang the garment up to air dry.
