I haven't tried this yet but heard it lots - crayons are wax...take a paper towel or fabric and place it on the stained area and iron it. The wax will transfer to the paper towel. I wish you luck!

Try Sol-U-Mel. It removes blood and works great for my kids crazy stains!
Good Luck!

Try Sol-u-mel. It is a miracle cleaner that gets out EVERYTHING!! I used it to get permanent marker off our couch upholstery. It took crayon off the wall in one swipe!

Grandma's Stain Remover got red crayon out of my daughter's clothes after it was washed & dried with them. It was like magic! After I had tried several other things, and even after washing & drying the clothes again, this stuff got it out. It might work on upholstery too!

I have used Sol U Mel to get out some of the worst stains. Hard to believe but I even used it to get paint off one of my favorite black dresses. It worked and did not damage the color. It was so incredible. Now I just have to work on the waste to get back into this dress.
