What You'll Need
Before you start cleaning your wallet, make sure you have the following supplies:
- Soft cloth
- Sponge
- Mild dish soap
- White vinegar
- Hairdryer
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Crayon Stains
- Take your soft cloth and dampen it with some cold water. Rub the affected area gently for a few seconds. Make sure not to use too much water, as this could damage the delicate leather.
- If the stain is still visible, mix mild dish soap with some white vinegar, and use the sponge to dab a small amount of the mixture on the stain. Gently rub the mixture in a circular motion.
- Once the stain has been removed, dry the wallet with a hairdryer set to lowest temperature setting. Make sure to move the hairdryer around to avoid concentrating heat in one area.
Tips for Prevention
- Make sure to store your crayons away from your wallet. This will prevent accidental staining.
- If possible, try to keep your wallet out of direct sunlight as this can cause fading or discoloration over time.
