WHAT-a-MESS!

Oh, Man. So last week, after my brand new white coat get a little dirty on a car ride, I decided to throw it in the wash. I added Elizabeth's white winter coat, and Anna's pink one, then tossed them in the dryer for a bit. When I pulled them out, I discovered that a crayon had also joined the load.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elizabeth thought it was pretty cool. She wanted to wear her's to school. I'm not sold on the new fashion. I've tried a few things... still looks nice and colorful.
Any suggestions???????

I can totally relate, sadly. A tiny little piece of red crayon managed to sneak into a load of whites. It looked like a crime scene in that dryer. I did a million things, it worked for some of it and some was a lost cause. I can't remember all the details, but if you do a search, I know I found a lot of tips on google. Some involved WD-40, oxyclean, vinegar & baking soda, ironing w/ paper bags, borax, and washing w/ hot water over and over again! Just so you know, I decided to keep a couple of things that had some crayon I just couldn't get out, and it actually seems to still be fading a bit each time I wash them, so there is some hope! :) Good luck!
