ahhh you rock....I tired to google it and was not finding too many good options ..

I will look to see what you found.


I feel so bad. my son worked very hard smashing the crayons up....guess what I will be doing the next hour.....

Blow dryer and LOTS of papertowels.

Melt the crayon with the blow dryer and then wipe off from surfaces.

Your clothing is going to be a different story. MUCH harder to remove and you will probably still have staining. You can try putting a paper towel over the crayon on your clothes and ironing them. The crayon should melt and hopefully stick to the paper towel. You'll have to try it a few times though. Very annoying.

A friend of mine did recommend something called Totally Awesome but I never tried it. Apparently it comes in a semi-transparent spray bottle or in 1 gallon containers. The liquid is yellow I think. She said she misses crayons in her DD's pockets once and washed and then dried them so she got melted crayon on a bunch of clothes. She rewashed the load with this stuff and on the hottest and longest cycle and that all of the crayon came out. I don't even know where she bought this stuff at though. I use a product sometimes called Awesome but it's a white container with maroon lettering so I'm not sure if it's the same thing or not. Sorry I can't be more help.

I actually wouldn't melt it off the floor or freezer. I would let it dry and harden, scrape it up, & then vacuum. Your clothes are whole other story...I hope it wasn't a favorite outfit!

I also use totaly awes and it works well for so many different things. I find it at the dollar tree and family dollar.

Did you take a picture???
Not that I would find a thing like that amusing this afternoon. Good luck cleaning it up! The worst I ever had was a dropped bottle of vegetable oil... everywhere.

You might try Fels-Naptha soap on your clothes. I've not tried it specifically on crayon but it works wonders on a lot of different things. It's a bar soap, but you just wet the stain rub the soap in and let it sit for a bit then launder. It can be hard to find but I got some at Walmart a while back.

I'd try using ice packs to freeze it and then scrape it off. Then I'd use a mr. clean magic eraser for the remnants. I'd toss the clothes in the garbage.....you risk it melting into your washer and dryer if you put in the laundry.

I swear you think like my husband. He told me to toss them out cuz we re not getting a new washer or dryer

I use those too!! They get out all kinds of stains on everything!! I just hold the bar and dampen the clothes and rub the dry bar in the stain.

I also use fels naphtha to make home made laundry detergent. Boy it gets the clothes clean!!

My daughter forgot and put a towel with bikini wax on it in the washer & dryer once. The very next load of laundry was cloth diapers. Needless to say, I had to buy some new diapers

This! When very cold, it should just break up and off and you should be able to sweep it up.

I would throw away the clothing. Cheaper than ruining your washer and dryer. And it's a good excuse to go shopping!
