How Do You Clean Crayon From Carpet?
If one of your children accidentally mistakes your carpet for a coloring book, use this recipe to remove the budding Picasso’s creations. Scrape off excess crayon wax with a butter knife or other non-serrated knife. Place a single layer of paper bag over the stain. Heat an iron to its hottest setting. Move the hot iron back and forth rapidly over the stain. Replace the paper bag when it becomes saturated with crayon. Repeat as many times as necessary until you’ve ironed up as much crayon as possible. Pour dry cleaning fluid over the remaining stain. Blot with a dry, white cloth. Apply a small amount of mild liquid detergent to the spot. Blot again with the cloth. Flood the stain with water. Blot again. Pour a small amount of ammonia on the stain. Blot again. Apply a little more liquid detergent. Blot again. Flood the area with water. Blot one last time.
