Lifesaver- How to get crayon out from a load of laundry
I know I am very lucky that in the 9+ years of raising boys I have never had a crayon sneak through my wash. But today broke my lucky streak and it wasn't pretty! I am really bad about checking pockets for things and evidently a yellow crayon was hidden away somewhere in my piles of sheets and miscellaneous lights. When I was folding them I thought it was paint splotches (my kids have been working on teacher's gifts) but when I saw the empty crayon wrapper it hit me these were melted crayon spots all over my laundry!! (Which is probably a good thing that it wasn't paint!) So I googled it (what did we do before internet? Probably bugged Mom more often!) and found this great and simple solution at Diary of a Doctor's Wife. A true lifesaver! We probably would have just lived with yellow spotted sheets and T-shirts but now we don't have to! This worked perfectly. I did have to repeat all steps twice.
