Melissa B Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I just washed and dried a load of laundry containing a red crayon. :glare: What is the best way to try and salvage this load of clothing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wapiti Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I once did it with purple crayon. On dh's custom shirts :glare:. What worked was several washes and a combination of: Carbona Stain Devil for crayon (from my local grocery) Murphy's Oil Soap Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda Zout Oxyclean stain removal spray Oxyclean stain removal stuff that you add to the load (It required that combination because I had to try just about everything that I had on-hand first :lol:. I'd try the Carbona and Arm & Hammer first.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Nita, Has WD-40 worked for you? I don't want to ruin the clothes further. And I think I would have to go out and buy color-safe bleach (along with the WD-40.) They weren't light or white clothing, mostly blues.
