Not sure if it will work it might break up due to the stone work if rough but I love the white sponges my local £ shop sell there are several for a £ in the pack think they might be called a duzz it.
it has removed crayon off toys ,marks on paintwork and pvc window frames look great ,dont scrub too hard on paintwork
my favourite cleaning accessory at the moment .

good luck

i just googled this i hope it helps! water might spread the crayon stains as the wax is obviousely resistant to water so dont scrub it with soapy water you might make it worse! scrape as much as you can of the crayon off with a knife then hold an ice cube in a plastic bag against it and again pick as many bits of as you can as the cold makes it brittle. next use your hair dryer on a high setting and soften the wax and again pick at it with a knife or the edge of a piece of cardboard, next try ironing over some paper towel with a warmish iron. if the crayon is still there after all that pre soak the stain in isopropyl rubbing alcohol for 30 mins and give it a good scrub with a scrubbing brush or nail brush. best of luck... angchris

if you have a stream cleaner that may shift it.

THIS MIGHT HELP

What about Astonish, it's like a granular cleaner that you can usually get in your local Pound shop etc, might be worth a shot.

Have also been checking Google and WD40 is recommended for most surfaces, use a microfibre cloth.

when my darling darling daugther drew all over the hallway ( the day after we redecorted it) i used a cloth and milk on , wiped over the red crayon and it removed it all. even on the wallpaper border and stair gate it worked. it didn't smell later on either. the cloth did turn pink, but hey at least my hallway was now crayon free again.

Baby wipes always remove it from our blond wood cabinets and other non-porous furniture.

I would try kitchen towel over it, and blast with a hair dryer on the hottest setting.
