Dear Ladies,

I have never had this problem before and I am blowen away on how to remove this stain. The other night I decided to wash my daughters coat and the must have been a crayon in there that I didn't find while checking the pockets. So after ward I noticed little red marks on the coat. So I thought that I had gotten all of the red crayon out of the dryer, but apparantley not, because this morning I did a load of whites. I had found a chunk of red crayon and the paper to the crayon the day before. And noticed that the all came out with streaks of red. So here is my question, how do I get red crayon out of white and tan clothes. Or do I just have to throw them away. Please help

So What Happened?

To get it out of the dryer I used wd40. I sprayed a cloth and then wiped then after it all came off I washed it with a soapy cloth then rinsed with a wet cloth. As for the clothes I used oxy clean and it got most of the stain out. Thank you for all the advice.

I use Kiss-off for all kinds of stains. Wet the stain with warm water. Apply "Kiss-off", wait 2 minutes and rinse it off. You could try this twice. Works with Crayons, Lipstick, Paint, blood etc.

It is the only thing which works. You'll get it at Pearl or Ace Hardware. It looks like a large lipstick. Good luck!

I use a bucket with a scoop of powdered oxyclean filled with water. I then wet the spot and create an oxyclean paste on it and let the clothes soak in the solution for 1-2 days. I've had A LOT of luck with getting 99% of the stains out of my 2 boys clothes who are 4 & 1...lots of stains there. Good luck! I hope this or something else that you read works for you.

Hi B.,

What Shaklee products have you used? I use 1 tbsp of Nature Bright and 1 Tbsp of laundry soap in a bucket of water, leaving it there for 3-5 days. The only stain I have not been able toremove in the past four years has been dry erase marker.
