Apply WD-40® spray and leave for a few minutes.

Apply a small amount of dry-cleaning solvent or alcohol to the stain. Use small amounts to prevent any possible spreading of stain. Blot quickly using soft, absorbent, white material such as paper towel or napkin. Dry-cleaning solvent and alcohol are commonly available at grocery, drug and hardware stores.

Do not use flammable solvents like gasoline, lighter fluid, etc.

Apply a small amount of Paint-Oil-and-Grease (POG) remover (available in hardware stores). Leave for 8-10 minutes. To remove POG, apply a small amount of dry-cleaning solvent and blot it using soft, absorbent, white material such as paper towel or napkin.

Mix half a teaspoon of a clear, neutral pH, non-bleach dish washing liquid with one cup of warm water. Apply it to the stain and leave for 5-10 minutes for best results. Rinse with warm water. You may have to rinse it several times to completely remove the residues. Never use automatic dishwasher detergent because it may contain bleaches that harm the textiles. Never use a laundry detergent because it may contain fluorescent dyes that may affect the dyes. Rinse with water and blot completely using soft, white, absorbent material.

That sounds like a lot of work, but it is worth it to get crayon off of carpet.  Have a great 2016.

That is great to know.  But, LOL, crayons don't usually seem to be the major issue w/ carpets.

 Good morning Michael. I never would've thought of using WD-40. I will have to remember this one.
