How to get wax crayon off oak cupboard

[jambot]

DD has just scribbled over an oak cupboard with a blue wax crayon. Not having much luck getting it off. Any ideas?

try giving it a quick blast with the hairdryer and then wiping with kitchen paper. I got crayon off my television like that.

um...toothpaste is supposed to be good at getting wax crayon off things...not sure about unvarnished wood though...(if your oak cabinet isn't varnished)

actually saying that..I think it is for walls etc....have you tried a baby wipe? they are good at getting marks off too.

It's not varnished, so has gone right into the grain. Will try the baby wipe.

Sorted! The wet wipe worked perfectly! Thanks a lot. All gone before Daddy saw it!!

Phew!!!

Wet wipes are great aren't they!!

All I know is never try to sand wax crayon!
When dd2 was little she coloured all over my new doors and we tried to sand it off-now have a greenish tinge.

Thank you thank you thank you for this old thread. Babywipes truly are a miracle!
