As some of you know I went away for the weekend to Disney. It was really really HOT. My son decided to take some crayons with to color in the car.... well we kind of forgot to take them out and they melted into my seat! :roll:

I have NO idea how to remove wax crayon from fabric...HELP! Does anyone here know any tricks to remove it? It has gone right down into the fabric and looks awful... HELP HELP HELP :o

There is a product called, Goo be gone. It removes crayola and many other things, too.

Amanzi, being a mother myself, I have had this happen. I found this on the crayola website...and it actually worked.

How to remove Washable Crayons from car interior fabrics and carpeting:

Materials:

Dull knife or metal spoon
Liquid dishwashing detergent
Small stiff bristle brush
Warm water
Sponge

Procedure:
Scrape excess crayon off with a dull-edge knife or metal spoon. Spray or dampen with warm water and apply liquid dishwashing detergent on the stained area, work in with the brush and wipe stain away with a damp sponge. If stain remains, repeat the procedure.

here is the website incase you had something other than washable crayons...

Bron and Bonnie, I was honestly going to mention "Goo Gone" shortly after you created this thread. I wanted to check the bottle before replying. I never got to it, I finished reading and posting a bit last night/early this morning. I was going to response today.

"Goo Gone" removes grease, stickers, tar, gum, crayon and tape from fabrics.

It sounds like the the instructions Kami gave you would be the best thing to try.

Hi Amanzi,

Hope you got it out. If it leaves a stain, I know vinegar (the clear kind) and water (20% Vinegar 80% water) works quite well and is also friendly to fabric and carpet. My wife and I have a couple of dogs here that do not like stormy weather and ....well..... let's just say, we've used that solution many many times!! lol

..but the thing is, did your son enjoy Disney?!?! hehe
