Start by lightly blotting the crayon stain with a white cloth to remove as much of the wax as possible. Be careful to use only light pressure to avoid rubbing the wax into the fabric and making the stain worse.
Once you have blotted as much of the crayon wax as possible, dip a white cloth in warm water and add a mild detergent to it. Use the damp cloth to gently massage the stained area of fabric for a few minutes, concentrating on removing all the residue.
Afterwards, use a soft bristled brush to gently scrub the stained area of the fabric. This will help to further loosen and remove the remaining residue from the fabric’s fibers.
Lastly, rinse area with warm water and dab it dry with a clean white cloth. Allow area to air dry for a few hours and repeat the steps if needed.
By following our easy tips, you can now enjoy your Zara and all its surfaces free of any crayon-induced stress.
