Turned my back for 30 seconds as our 2 years and 10 months little angel was drawing in a colouring in book with a red crayon in our bedroom. Must have got bored with the book as he decided to scribble all over a cream coloured duvet cover.

Anyone been successful in getting crayon out of material?:confused:
 
Good luck with that!

Found this though

Washable Fibers

Follow these steps to remove crayon stains from Acrylic Fabric, Cotton, Linen, Modacrylic, Nylon, Olefin, Polyester, Spandex, Wool/washable:

  • Scrape to remove the excess.
  • Place the stain between two pieces of white blotting paper and press with a warm iron.
  • Change the papers as the stain is absorbed.
  • This stain can easily spread, so use care while pressing.
  • On colorfast white cotton or linen, try pouring boiling water through the stain.
  • After using either method, allow fabric to dry.
  • If any trace remains, flush it with a dry-cleaning solvent such as Afta Cleaning Fluid.
  • If any dye remains, sponge (the method of using light strokes with a dampened pad working outward from the center of the stain) it with 1 part rubbing alcohol (do not use on acrylic or modacrylic) in 2 parts water.
  • Rinse well with clear water and allow to dry.

Mother used to be a childminder, so ended up having to remove crayons from... all sorts.

Best method involves using OxiClean and boiling hot water by hand first to get the majority out, then do a normal washing machine load with added oxy clean on the hottest setting.
 
Its wax so it might come out by placing a tissue over it and ironing it. The wax will then be drawn up to the tissue.
