I remember reading where someone had a fix for clothes that had been ruined by a green crayon in the dryer. Can't find the response and need it for a friend of mine!
I don't know about crayon once it has been melted in the dryer but rubbing alcohol will remove crayon from clothes and furniture.
If it's been melted once, it can be melted twice. Lay an old towel or paper towels on your ironing board and the ruined clothing on top of it, crayon side down. Then iron the clothing (without pressing hard, maybe you could try just hitting it with hot steam) and the crayon will melt and drip onto the paper towels instead. It worked for me. Good luck!
I'm seeing this really late, but thought I would respond anyway.
I had this happen to me a few weeks ago, I did a lot of googling and what I did was this:
-I pre-treated the stains with Spray and Wash/Shout for about 30 mins
-then put 2 little cups of OxyClean in with the wash, along with about 2 cups of detergent (the cup size of the lid)and washed as usual, but with 2 extra rinses to make sure the detergents were really out (detergent can cause rashes if it's not rinsed out completely)
After only one wash, the stains were gone! The only ones that didn't completely come out were the ones that I missed when I was pre-treating, but they came clean when I pre-treated and ran them through the wash again.
I have used this with success on 2 full loads of clothes that had crayon on them (red and green)
I hope this helps someone!
I couldn't find anything re: crayon in the dryer, but I use this website for tons of stuff like that :)
I have used the iron method on clothes and carpets.... sometimes a bit of color stain is left and I use spot treat from Amway to get that out. I can get you in touch with a rep or just get you an order if you need it.
Hi, S. - Melaleuca's PreSpot and MelaPower are fabulous for any cleaning issues. The products lift stains, grease, etc. from clothing, as opposed to grinding them out...all without harmful chemicals. Sol-U-Mel is especially effective for stains and odors, as well as for use as a cleaning booster. Hope this helps. N.
