| Okay ladies I have a slight problem. Bailey left 2 crayons in her pants and I found 1 and took it out but didn't find the other one until after the clothes had been dried and the crayon melted all over them. Is there anything you gals know of that will removed this out of clothes? Thanks

| ok Vicki I got this from the internet ages ago
I have used it it worked very well .
Crayon Melted on Clothing in Dryer
To remove crayon stains that have been melted onto clothing in the dryer, place the stained surface down on pad of paper towels, spray with WD-40, let stand a few minutes, turn fabric over and spray the other side.
Apply liquid dishwashing detergent and work into the stained area, replacing towelling as it absorbs the stain. Wash in hottest water possible with laundry detergent and bleach for about 12 minutes (use heavy soiled setting if there is no minute timer on your machine) and rinse in warm water.
Special Note:Heat sets stains so clean the drum of your dryer to remove any remaining wax residue by spraying a soft cloth with WD-40, and wiping the drum. Run a load of dry rags through a drying cycle to ensure that your drum is clean.

| That is the amazing thing. There was nothing on the dryer anywhere. It was all over the clothes and actually not even the whole load probably about half.
