After pushing and fighting your way through the crowds at Staples or Wal-mart to get all your school supplies, if you have younger children, you'll be getting the standard pen, pencil and crayon stains in clothes. If you have older children or husbands you will have ink stains. Don't fall for it.
Crayon is relatively easy to remove from fabrics.
Instead, liberally coat the area with liquid detergent and let the garment sit overnight. For dry cleanable items, it is best to leave the stain as is, and bring the item to a professional. The stain will be easier to remove if you don't disturb it with a potentially damaging home remedy. Use a clean eraser carefully, rubbing lightly. Then apply liquid soap or a tiny amount of ammonia, using one part ammonia with five parts water.
