Actually, it was a whole box of them! How do I get it out? It has also left greasy spots on everything. They were the cheap kind. Not crayola.

Spray the mess with wd40. Should wipe it right off. For the clothes, I can't remember exactly, but I think the Tide website, and/or the crayola website, has a good tip for that.


HTH!

this just happened to me as well! Aren't kid's fun? WD-40 to wipe out the inside drum of the dryer. I wasn't successful in getting it out of my load of clothes. What a mess, I feel your pain!

Yikes! I haven't had any crayons in the dryer, but I have had a few chapsticks that left oil marks on the clothes. I used Shout gel on them and it got rid of most of the spots the first time. I had to wash a few things a second time with the shout gel and the spots came out. Good luck!!!
