Fabric Crayons on Wallpaper

For non-washable materials, consult a professional cleaner.Special Note: Heat-Set Fabric Crayons -- Because Crayola Fabric crayons are designed for permanency, there are no suggestions for removal. Depending upon the fiber content of the fabrics involved, stains may eventually fade from natural fabrics after repeated washing and exposure to sunlight.
