Melted crayon in the dryer

I went to remove a load of clothes from the dryer and saw crayon marks all over them. Apparently DH had crayons in his pocket. Any ideas for getting the melted crayon marks out of the clothes? It's light colored clothes, mostly golf shirts.

  • Paper bag and and iron. Put down a paper bag, then the shirt, another paper bag, and iron on warm. It should come right out.

    I'm really interested to see if this works

    I used this method to get wax out of a carpet one time.  It worked!  Good luck!

  • I have used an iron and paper towels and dribbled boiling water over the melt (outside) 
  • Dd threw a crayon in the wash basket and dh didn't catch it until we pulled her clothes out of the dryer. Hot water, 1 cup white vinegar and 1 cup dawn dish soap. Let soak for 15 mins then wash like normal. We did it twice and it took the crayon out of her clothes, but you can do it several times if needed. Also makes the whites really white.

  • Btw my dryer is still green on the inside :(. At least it isn't affecting any other loads.

    This is what I've tried so far, I let the clothes air dry and it looks like most of the marks are gone.  I need to either wash again, or try the iron trick.  

    Thanks for the replies everyone!
