HOW TO REMOVE CRAYON WAX FROM CARPETS AND FABRICS
Crayons in carpets, clothing and upholstery can be one of the most difficult areas to clean. Depending on the color of the crayon and color of the fabric, as well as the amount of crayon used, this can be a very tricky cleaning area that may require more than one application or technique.
To start with:
1. Using a fork, knife or comb scratch the spot lightly towards the center removing as much wax residue as possible.
2. Then, apply Quick 'n Brite paste full strength using a wet terry cloth towel to the spot and rub back and forth in short 5 to 6 inch strokes. For some people, this is the only step needed to remove the crayon wax.
3. Let the Quick 'n Brite sit for 10 minutes if it is not instantly removed.
4. Using a dry terry cloth towel, buff out the remaining stain.
5. At this point, if there is still a stained area repeat the process once more. If you are not successful in removing all the crayon stains, continue onto Step 6.
For most people, the stain will be lifted after steps 1-5, if there is a large amount of wax or the wax is a dark color like red or blue some people find the iron-transfer method to work best.
6. Lay a brown paper bag over the remaining wax spot (it will work better if area is still damp from Quick 'n Brite, so don't worry)
7. Using an iron set on low heat move the iron slowly back and forth over top of the brown paper bag. The heat will cause the wax to melt and the paper bag will absorb the remaining wax.
8. Keep ironing over a clean piece of bag until the spot has been fully absorbed.
