How to remove Construction Paper, Gel FX Crayons from fabric - fresh, heat-set, or melted

Scrape off as much crayon as possible.  Apply liquid dish soap and work into the stained area.  Let stand a few minutes, rub fabric under warm water to remove the  stain.  Machine wash using the heavy soil setting and the hottest water the fabric will allow with OxiClean or Clorox 2.  Allow to air dry.  Repeat as needed.

SPECIAL NOTE:  heat-set stain - Wipe the stained area with paper towels to remove as much crayon as possible.  Use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser per the manufacturer's direction.  Clean, dry rags can be placed into the dryer and ran through a cycle to remove any remaining stain.  Repeat as needed.
