How do I get the marks out of my clothes now? They also went through the drier unfortunately :no:

I use eucalytus oil on any marks on clothing. Dunk or dab some oil on the stains. Leave it for a little while (1/2 hour to 3 days):laughing:depends how organised you are. Fill the sink with water and I just rub soap over the spot and give it a scrub. Rinse or wash as normal. I have used it to get pen marks off and I'd use it for crayon too. Magic stuff. Hope it comes out:D

My mum has this product called 'Exit' that might work. It's basically a yellow wax (looking) like product. It basically looks like a tall square yellow candle (hard to describe). But it is more likely to work on discreet lines, small areas, don't know about bigger areas. I think she got it from Coles.

:p Thankfully most of the clothes were black so only 5 articles of clothing have been covered in purple covered spots.

So Beany and Bam I hope karma bites your butt and it happens during a light load *huff*

Thanks to the friendly, helpful hubbers. I will get some eucalyptus oil tomorrow.

*mutters* some people deserve to be banned.

:p:D

(will take photos if I remember to!)

Whoops :D I know I'll get it back, but I definately want to see what it does! The drier *might* have heat sealed it there, meaning it wouldn't be removable... I know that you can actually use a certain method to make crayon (yes, normal crayons) actually stick on fabric and it gives a great effect... but you probably don't want the dots :p
