Cleaning Up with Crayola

Crayon Cleaning Tips

We have a Bidmycleaning budding Picasso – she is almost four years old and loves to draw especially princesses and mermaids. Fortunately she doesn’t feel the need to take her talents beyond paper and hasn’t drawn on the walls or furniture. She did accidentally get some red marker on the sofa and unfortunately for us it wasn’t a Crayola marker. If it had been we would have been able to visit their complete online guide to stain removal. For each of their products they provide information related to the surface on which the stain has been made, what materials are needed for removal and their suggested procedure for doing so.

We prefer to use only eco-friendly cleaning products and often use homemade cleaning products and their materials list includes typical commercial cleaning products. They do however say that while these are brands that performed most effectively in their tests, other brand products may work equally well. They also do recommend that before trying out the stain removal method, test an inconspicuous area of the material or surface to be cleaned.

If you don’t have the time or are reluctant to tackle stain removal yourself, we have great cleaning companies listed at Bidmycleaning.com who can clean carpets and upholstery.
