FYI

Just so you know, soaking an entire load of laundry in OxyClean for 2 and a half hours before washing it on the heavy load setting (with more OxyClean) and giving it an extra rinse will, in fact, take the crayon out that had been melted and dispersed (unbeknownst) in the dryer and spread on every piece of clothing.

However, it is much more difficult to remove the melted crayon from the dryer itself.  This requires heavy scraping and lots of elbow grease as well as cleaner.  And, when done at midnight (because you had been out late watching "The Fashion Show" at your mother's house and only checked the dryer upon your return home) it makes for a rather bemusing evening.  

So, the lesson is this: always check your children's pockets for crayons before washing their clothes with your clothes.  And don't wait until midnight to find out what happened in the dryer while you weren't paying attention....  

But, this is probably old information for most of you, isn't it?
