No matter how hard we try we cannot prevent getting a stain on our favourite carpet or rug, especially when having small children and pets. Sometimes children just mistake the carpet for a coloring book and this is the moment when you get a Picasso's creation. To clean effectively crayon stains you need to follow the step written bellow during the carpet cleaning.
- The first thing you need to do is to remove as much crayon wax as possible. Use a butter knife or a credit card to scrape off the crayon.
- Cut a paper bag and place a single layer over the spot.
- Turn on the iron and heat it to its hottest setting.
- Move the iron from side to side rapidly over the spot.
- When the crayon is saturated you need to replace the paper bag.
- You need to repeat all these steps until you have removed as much crayon as possible.
- After that apply a small amount of dry cleaning solutions. Blot the spot using white clean cloth or paper towel.
- The next step is to apply a small amount of mild liquid detergent and blot again.
- Rinse the stain with warm but not hot water and blot again.
- Then apply a small amount of ammonia on the stain and you need to blot again.
- Repeat step 7 if needed.
- In the end you need to rinse with water and blot for the last time.
Let it dry completely before entering the room. Do not forget that you can always hire a professional carpet cleaning company to help you with the job.
