Yesterday I had one of those colorful days. . . you know the ones where you choose not to say colorful words even though your laundry is splattered with colorful bursts of crayon wax. Dang Mel's Diner. Dang kids who think that crayons in their pocket is a good idea. (relax, I said dang)
Bless whomever came up with this concoction that brought the stains out after 2 hot washings, an overnight soak, and another washing in the morning. Granted, I had to cut the pocket off that held the crayons, but I'd say the outcome was miraculous. Maybe I should make the little culprit wear his pants with the pocket cut out. Maybe the thought of his friends and classmates possibly taking a peek at his star wars underoos will scare him into never putting anything into his pockets again! . . wait. . . why don't I just cut out all of the pockets of all of the kiddy pants! WAAAHHAA HAAA HAA . . . that's my best evil laugh.
Here's the magic potion . . . I hope you never have to use it.
"Getting the Dang Crayon out of the Laundry" Magical Potion
2 max amounts (line 3) of concentrated Tide
1 cup Oxiclean
1/2 cup 20 mule team Borax
1 cup Shout liquid
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup Oxiclean
1/2 cup 20 mule team Borax
1 cup Shout liquid
1 cup white vinegar
Soak the clothes in the washer on the hottest setting. . . make sure you've sorted the laundry so colors don't bleed if you are not used to washing on hot. I soaked, washed, and then soaked overnight, washed again, and then washed it like I normally would
Luckily there was no crayon on the walls of my dryer. If you have that problem. . .you'll have to google it, though I've heard that magic eraser will do the trick.

There are no pictures. I was really mad.
