I think there is a method where you use an iron and brown paper to "suck it up" into the paper. Biz is what I use for anything biological..not sure if wax counts but biz is what they use to clean bones for museums...it is amazing. <br /><br />I have sympathy because one of my twin boys used sharpie on a handmade quilt one of my hubby's aunts gave us...did I mention she had just passed away? I was crying so badly...it broke my heart. It did fade severely with acetone so that at least it is not the first thing you see when you look at it.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865174900829735332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-86614615705566180262011-03-17T05:21:27.629-06:002011-03-17T05:21:27.629-06:00Thanks to my daughter who once left a crayon in he...Thanks to my daughter who once left a crayon in her pocket, which went through the laundry and streaked everything turqouse (so pretty), I know about RIT laundry treatment. It also removed lipstick stains which she also left in a pocket. It's hard to find, but I've bought it from Joann's online.

My daughter (now 26)when she was 2 was supposed to be taking a nap, but instead decided to decorate her walls. We used Oops! and it took everything off of the walls. I think we've used it on carpet also.

The problem came when the clothes went into the dryer and the crayon melted onto everything. Avon skin-so-soft was recommended as well as WD-40. Both worked fairly well. I wouldn't recommend the iron and paper towel method because it will just leave the dye behind and take out the wax. Definitely experiment with scraps first.9patchnursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16874062713969508413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-73085861843341409112011-03-16T08:42:08.347-06:002011-03-16T08:42:08.347-06:001 - Spray with WD-40 and then soak up with paper t...1 - Spray with WD-40 and then soak up with paper towel.<br /><br />2 - Hand wash with Dawn to remove the residue remaining.<br /><br />3 - Wash as normal.<br /><br />And as has been mentioned, try whatever you decide to try on scraps first!<br /><br />Good Luck, and please post your results...Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624140507953560723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-92010142947714143262011-03-16T08:11:28.312-06:002011-03-16T08:11:28.312-06:00oh noooooo!!!
