on 8/8/2006 Using the Murphy's Oil Soap at full strength worked great! I rubbed it in gently and then used my Bissel Little Green Carpet Machine and it removed the crayon 100%.

on 3/28/2006 My two kids love to crayon and the carpet is full of marks. The ironing and ammonia tip works, but for large area its too time consuming. Especially, in winter time when all windows are closed, we could not use ammonia to clean without a gas mask.
The Murphy oil soap worked great and in no time I was done. Amazing! Thank you.

on 11/22/2005 Use Murphy's Oil Soap. Believe it or not, it will pull crayon out of the carpet and even clothes that have been through a dryer with a crayon! Apply it full strength to the stain and use a white wet cloth to work it out.
