Ahhhh!!!!! Red crayon in the laundry!!!
I am so ticked off! I'm proud of myself for keeping calm with the kids, though.
 So, I look on crayola's website, and apparently it will take a couple of cans worth of WD-40 to save my jeans. I dunno if they're worth the effort. Some stuff isn't noticable, like dark pants and a red-checkered shirt. Can I wash those again without them destroying all the other laundry? Or should I toss them?

Been there. Done that. Bought the new dryer.
It's almost impossible to get all the little bits off of all the internal parts without completely gutting the dryer. You'll be finding little red stains for months........

Since crayons are wax, you could try this. Place the jeans on the ironing board. Place a towel over the crayon stain. Iron towel. The crayon should lift off the jeans and onto the towel.

If i remember correctly Mike, this is something that happens when you have kids, and is built into all parents to allow it to happen at least once

I was an evil stepmother. I sewed the boy's pockets shut. The little bugger would put anything from markers to dog poop in them to mess with me.
And never wash your good jeans with kids clothes.

Don't you check the pockets of the kid's clothes before putting them in the wash?
A valuable lesson I learned from Mom and later in life with small step-children.

Yep, I checked. Dog poop. That's when I got out the sewing machine.

Ahhh the crayon in the dryer, mine was a purple one. Purple streaks on all of the clothes (lucky for me my husbands work shirts are black) Then there was the time I put a lipstick in the dryer, that was fun!!
You could try soaking the jeans overnight with something like spray n wash, or shout. Wash them and treat the stains again (while the jeans are still wet) ,and let them soak overnight. It might take a few times, but it ususally works. |
