How to Remove Crayon Stains in 4 Easy Steps
Introduction: The Problem of Crayon Stains
Crayons are a great tool for young children to express their creativity. But they are also one of the most difficult stains to remove from clothing, furniture, and carpets.
The problem with crayon stains is that they can be difficult to remove because of the wax content in them. Wax is a natural substance that has an affinity for fibers and other fabrics that it comes into contact with. It's also a very stubborn stain because it does not dissolve in water like other substances do.
This section discusses how to remove crayon stains from various surfaces, such as clothing, furniture, and carpets.
Step 1 - Create a Detergent Solution
In this section, we will go through the process of making a detergent solution. This is a very basic process that can be used to create any type of soap solution.
What you will need:
-A container with a lid (at least 2 liters)
-1/2 cup of detergent
-3 cups of water
-1 teaspoon of glycerin (optional)
-1 tablespoon of liquid castile soap (optional)
