Is There Any Way to Get Crayon Off of an Aquadoodle Mat?

Waxy crayons require special cleaners.

The Aquadoodle, a coloring mat the changes color with water, isn't immune to crayon stains. Because crayons are made of wax, a degreaser works best to remove the coloration. A degreaser made from orange or other citrus fruits, cuts through the wax without harming the pad itself. It's important to note that more ground in it is; the harder it is to remove. The pigmentation from the crayons also comes off when the wax is removed.

Things You'll Need

• Plastic knife
• Citrus cleanser
• Paper towels

Instructions

1. 

   Scraping off the thick wax makes it easier to remove.

   Scrape off any chunks of the crayon wax with the plastic knife.

2. Douse the crayon marks with the citrus degreaser. Wait 10 seconds for the liquid to soak into the Aquadoodle.

3. Scrub the spot, using circular motions, with a paper towel.

4. Rinse the stained area on the Aquadoodle with water to remove the degreaser.

Tips & Warnings

• The degreaser leaves an orange scent.
