Hello! This is for a friend whose daughter has been using one of their posh damask chairs as a canvass..! Apart from WD40 (which I'm guessing will stain the cloth) does anyone know of a way of removing crayon from her cream armchair?!
Thanks very much
Dan

This could be a bit of a challenge. We know that hairspray will get crayon off wallpaper (spray on wipe off) so maybe if you sprayed on and then gently dabbed (NOT rubbed) with kitchen roll - it might lift bit by bit.
There's also the warm iron trick - again use some absorbent paper or towel over the marks and lightly iron with a warm iron. Not too hot - just enough to soften.melt the wax in the crayon.
Finally there might be some colour left. Dye sticks or dry cleaning sticks might clear that up.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.

If its wax crayons you should be able to put a few sheets of kitchen roll over the mark and use a warm iron over it the kitchen roll should sock up the wax.
Hope this helps.

Methylated spirit might help if it has stained, but try an area out of the way just to test!!0
