Question: How do I remove crayon stains?
Here's how to remove crayon stains:
Answer: To remove crayon from clothing, use WD-40 and dishwashing liquid. Put a folded white paper towel under the fabric and spray WD-40 onto a clean white cloth and dab it on both sides of the stain. Next, rub a bit of dishwashing liquid into the crayon mark. Let the paper towel absorb the crayon stain. When the stain seems to have disappeared, launder according to fabric label directions.
