- Scrape away as much of the crayon wax as possible using a spoon or butter knife.
- Place ice cubes in a plastic bag and apply to the stain for 5–10 minutes.
- Scrape away as much wax as you can.
- Spray WD-40® into the stained area and let sit for 3–5 minutes. Rub in detergent by using a clean cloth, blotting up the stain.
- If a colored stain remains, treat with stain remover or rubbing alcohol.
- Brush with a stiff bristle brush.
- Rinse with warm water.
- If the stained material is clothing or a tablecloth, launder at the highest heat the fabric can tolerate. Do not put the fabric in the dryer until the stain is gone.
