    Default Any advice on how to get crayons off sofas?

    Hi guys, so it finally happened. 22 month old grabbed a wax crayon and ran off to the sofa, scribbling as fast as he could before I got there to disarm him.

    It's a fabric sofa, any ideas how to get it off?

    First I would put some cotton on it and iron on a hot heat over the crayon - this will melt the wax and should absorb onto the cotton.

    Not sure about the inevitable colour mark you will be left with though.
    triangle sandwiches are better than square ones...

    Just googled it for you lol
    Apparently a paper towel and an iron on low heat.
    if mark remains then repeat with clean paper towel, finally you can use a stain remover on it
