How do you remove crayon stains from twill?

Pre-treat the stain with a mixture of non-bleach detergent and lukewarm water. Soak the fabric in white vinegar for at least 30 minutes and then launder in the washing machine with a mild detergent and cold water. Once the cycle has ended, air-dry the fabric in a well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight.

Can you use hot water to clean crayon stains?

No, hot water can set the stain into the fabric making it more difficult to remove. Always use cold or lukewarm water when pre-treating and laundering the fabric.

1. Pre-Treat the Stain

Mix a few drops of gentle, non-bleach detergent with lukewarm water and apply it directly to the stained area. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes before using a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the affected area. Rinse with warm water.

2. Soak in White Vinegar

Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a half cup of white vinegar. Place the stained fabric inside the basin and let it soak for at least 30 minutes. If the stain is still visible, repeat soaking and scrubbing until it has disappeared.

3. Launder in the Washing Machine

Place the twill fabric in the washing machine with a mild detergent and cold water. Set the temperature to warm and the cycle to delicate. Include a cup of white vinegar along with detergent in the load. Rinse in cold water once the cycle has finished.

4. Air-Dry

Do not put the fabric in dryer as this may set stain. Instead, hang the fabric to air-dry in a well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight.
