Carrie Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Go to the crayola website. They tell you how to remove crayon from everything. WD-40 works on most surfaces, but I don't know about carpet. That is where I always go first for crayon clean-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VerticallyEnhanced Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 And yet one more item. There is a company called Mellaluca. I use a lot of their products, but one is just a miracle item. It is called solumel and I have yet to meet a stain it cannot get out. I cannot say I have tried it on crayon on carpet, but it has gotten several other items out of my carpet, off of my tile, off of walls, out of clothes.

Fern-Marie Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Take a good, thick paper towel, i.e. Bounty or the Kleenex brand. Place it over the crayon marks.Using a warm, but not too high temp set IRON- you don't want to burn or over heat the fibers of the carpet as it will melt just like any other over heated object when ironing. The warmth of the iron will melt the wax crayon, and the paper towel will absorb it...I have personal experience with this one.Solvents may stain the carpet and lead you to a whole other set of problems.Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
