I as every other parent with little kids did not one but 2 loads of wash with crayon in pockets of clothes. First load was a blue green crayon and the other was purple. OMG. What a mess. Well first load I came to this great page. Didn't have everything I needed so thought Id use what I had. I have HE washer and dryer.I used oxy dish soap put that on clothes before I washed, vinegar and he power tide and 98% came out.

I couldn't believe my eyes. Second load only a pair of my daughters pants got it thank goodness but boy were they purple. I used all the above but put in my sink. That worked as well.. Thank you! Going to wash loads again when I get everything, Hopefully the little bit that didn't come out will then. (02/28/2009)
