Removing Crayon From Your Dryer - Video Instructions

Melted Crayons In The Dryer

Removing crayon from your dryer is not a fun thing to do, but neither is having to rewash multiple loads of laundry to get out crayon stains.

If you accidentally wash, and then dry crayons in your dryer, along with a load of clothes, you inevitably get crayon stains of melted crayon wax all over your clothing.

In addition, that wax also can get onto your dryer drum.

Before you do another load of clothing and throw it in the dryer you need to get rid of those melted crayon bits that are stuck all over the dryer drum.

Below is a video giving step by step instructions for removing crayon from the dryer.

This video suggests the following steps:

1. Throw some old towels into the dryer for a couple of minutes on high to loosen and soften the melted crayon again, to make it easier to remove.

2. Make a paste of dishwasher detergent and water and use this to scrub your dryer drum to remove all that melted crayon.

3. Then, wash off the dishwasher detergent paste with soapy water and a rag.

4. Finish running some old towels through the dryer for a full load again, just to make sure you have removed all the crayon and not missed some spots so you don't ruin any clothing when you put it in.

Watch the video for full instructions.

Besides a dishwasher detergent paste, some people use WD-40 or Goo Gone to get rid of crayon marks from the dryer (see tip below).

Melted Red Crayon In Your Dryer - A Nightmare!

Melted crayons in the dryer are a nightmare, but there is hope!

We know we should always check all pockets before we do a load of laundry, but sometimes things happen and we forget, or something slips through.

Well, what do you do when that something is a red crayon that goes through the wash and then melts all over the dryer?

Picture it -- now there is red crayon melted all over the clothes, and on the dryer drum.

This exact thing happened to Kristen from KristenMcLane.com, and she used Goo Gone to clean the melted crayon off of both her dryer drum and the clothing itself.
