Yikes! Good luck!

From http://pages.tipking.com/letters/letter_0103_100.shtml :

"You are in quite a predicament, Here are a few suggestions that may save some of those items. Follow any presoak instructions that may be found on the label in the clothing.

Depending on what type of materials you are working with, and the colors of the materials, you may be able to save some of them. The color may bleed in some articles.

Use ammonia rubbed and the soaked on the area to get that greasy crayon out.

Pick off any or use a credit card to scrape off any large amounts of crayon in any one spot.

Scrub the area with toothpaste and a soft toothbrush to get that crayon spot out.

Covering each side of the material with another clothe (to soak up the wax) use your iron on low to melt as much of the crayon out as possible.

Hope this helps."

I don't know how well the iron method works on clothes, but it's a lifesaver for carpet :D Kitty knocked over a burning candle one time and wax was everywhere - the iron and cotton tock it right up. I would try it on the clothes, I'm sure it would make quite a difference.

Thanks I will give these a try....I have Goof Off also so if those tricks don't work then I will give it a try. Of course they were new shirts never been worn :lol:
