wax crayon on childs table.... how to remove???? Mrs Badger where are you??!!

[shrinkingsagpuss]

Ds and his charming little friends, have crayoned all over his little white ikea tabel..... would love to see it nearly white again- tried nail varnish remover, which helped a bit....

nah...... you're kidding me....

is it only the ones with alcohol in them?

well. not sure if you still can, but they often say "alchool free" on the packet, so presume there are ones WITH?!!!

it wokred a bit...... but we are talking serious grafitti......

oh yes
so you can suck them on the realy bad nights

flash eraser

a rubber eraser

is the table plastic or wooden???

if wooden, then put tissue over the crayon marks and gently run an iron over....the wax melts and is absorbed into the tissue.

if plastic, obviously don;t follow this tip

put a drying up cloth over the wax and iron it (min setting not too hot), move the cloth so a fresh bit is over the stain and iron again, repeat as necessary this will get the wax off but some colour may be left behind, but this should now come off with more 'normal' cleaning methods.

Blutac.
get a ball of blutac and rub it over it.

bollocks, went for more nail varnish remover..... off came the wax crayon... along with the surfae of the table!!!

plastic surface.... iron would melt it... no flash stuff in my cleaning cupboard.. don't dare risk the cilit bang!!

oh dear about the surface of the table.

maybe a sharpish knife next time to 'scrape' it off???

Try the blutac, seriously, it works.

hmmmm. find blutac...... does it matter if its covered in fluff? .. should have some fluff free somewhere....
