Crayon on leather chair - any ideas??

Hi all - just a quick question (I've had a look at the indexed collection, but can't find an answer!)

I've found a red wax crayon mark on one of my leather dining chairs - courtesy, I assume of my DD!! Any ideas how to remove it? Have tried the cleaning solution that came with my leather suite, but no joy! In the indexed collection, Sarahsaver advised leaving vaseline overnight on a permanent ink stain - would this work on crayon??

Any ideas gratefully appreciated:A

    this might sound obvious but I use baby wipes on my leather furniture which is also white & they are absolutely marvellous...worth a try?

    Failing that, try a bit of WD-40 on a rag.

    Brasso or Duraglit got loads of red crayon off my daughter's TV screen! She had completely covered it with crayon, so much so that you couldn't see the programme that was on! :rolleyes: It might work on leather.
    I'm so sorry if you were enjoying this thread and mine is the last post!!

    I seem to have a nasty habit of killing threads!

    hairspray is the new wonder cleaner in here!! It took permanent marker off my beige carpet the other day after DD3 decided to draw a flipping rabbit on it!!

    I'd go with baby wipes though.. wax crayon comes off stuff really easily anyway.

    Failing the baby wipes I'd go with kitchen roll and a hairdryer.. melt the wax through the paper and it soaks it right up..
