Crayon stain on your child’s clothing? This is a dye stain so you will spray or sponge the stain with a dry-cleaning solvent (Goof Off or Goo Gone) then rub with heavy-duty liquid laundry detergent before washing.
Did a crayon accidently end up inside a dryer load of clothes? First place the amount of detergent you would use for that size load.
Add: 1 cup water conditioner (Spring Rain, Calgon or Rain Drops) and 1 cup baking soda.
Fill up washer with clothes and water, agitate for 5 minutes. Allow the load to soak for a bit before you finish washing. Check before putting in dryer. You may still have to try a dry cleaning fluid on remaining spots.
Need to clean the dryer?
Unplug or shut off the gas. Use a non-abrasive, non-flammable cleanser (Soft-Scrub) and clean. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Then tumble a load of old rags or towels on regular cycle to remove rest of stain.
Hope that this helps the next time you find yourself with this problem.
