WFMW: Use Goo Gone to Remove Crayon Wax from Laundry

It’s Wednesday which can only mean one thing – Works For Me Wednesday (WFMW) hosted by Rocks In My Dryer. My tip is how to remove crayon wax from laundry.

Consider yourself fortunate if you are a parent and you have never opened the dryer and discovered that your freshly laundered clothes are stained from melted crayon wax. I speak from experience. Red crayon wax was all over my dryer drum and embedded in my clothing. The situation looked bleak but I was sure that the internet would offer a solution. I googled crayon in the dryer and found many suggestions. The solution that worked for me was Goo Gone. As strange as it sounded, I reasoned that the clothes couldn’t get any worse than they already were. I cautiously applied Goo Gone to the stains and put the treated clothing back into the washing machine. To my amazement it worked to remove the stains! I also used Goo Gone to remove crayon from the dryer drum.
