How to Remove Crayon From Upholstery

Removing crayon from upholstery is as easy as ironing.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Iron and cotton sheet

1. First remove the excess with a plastic kitchen scraper so as not to damage the fabric. Once the excess crayon is removed place a cotton towel or sheet over the marked area. With a hot iron and light pressure iron over the crayon mark. Remove the iron and instantly apply pressure with the clean area of the fabric to absorb the wet wax. Repeat as many time as necessary until the affected area is clean and free of the crayon wax.

2. After several attempts if the stain is still appearing to a final iron cycle and use a fabric safe cleaner that will degrease and remove the softened wax and stain until clean.

3. Allow area to air dry. This has worked for my family several times when my children where very small. Depending on the type of fabric the furniture is made of by require specialty solvents.
