How to Remove Crayon From Sheets

Kids seem to get crayon marks all over your household surfaces.

If you have kids, crayon stains are a fact of life. It's not uncommon to find markings all over walls, furniture and household fabrics. If they color on the bed at all, you will likely need to remove crayon from the bed sheets. Crayon can be removed with some effort and a few unlikely household products.

Things You'll Need

Instructions

1. Lay the section of stained sheet stain-side down on a bed of white paper towels.

2. Spray the area with WD-40, and allow it to soak for about five minutes.

4. Wash and rinse the sheets in hot water, adding regular or color-safe bleach if the stain is still visible.
