Maybe it's something with orange. My daughter somehow mashed orange and green crayons into our beige carpet (yeah, what is with the beige carpets anyway?!?). I've tried everything to get the orange color out of the fibers and it won't come out either. I can't get the green out either but for some reason the orange seems to be worse.

for the crayons have you tried using an iron to 'melt' the wax?


Place several thicknesses of paper towels over the spot and iron with your iron set to low. Hopefully this will lift some of the colors out. Be really careful as you dont want to melt the carpet at the same time!

All of the wax came off. These weren't regular crayons. They were some kind of Sesame Street really soft crayons that you twist up like a lipstick. They remind me more of a paint stick rather than a crayon. The package said they were washable but if you get it on your skin it stains, too.

I think the Sesame Street crayons need to live with Oscar in the garbage can...

We use this on pet stains and all types of stains on the carpet, and it works wonders! Plus, it's a very good deodorizer, too. http://www.zeroodor.com/

I use oxyclean to get stains out of my carpet. I know it at least works for kitty barf, and kitty poop that you step on in the middle of the night because they missed the pan and you have now stepped it into the carpet.
