How to remove Oil Pastels (Crayola and Portfolio Series) from fabric - fresh, heat-set, or melted

Scrape off as much oil pastel as possible.  Use ice cubes to chill the oil pastel making it easier to scrape away.  Saturate a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and blot the stained area.  If stain persists, rub liquid dish soap into the stain and wash as normal.  Repeat as needed.

Dryer Drum:  Wipe the stained area with paper towels to remove as much oil pastel as possible.  Use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser per the manufacturer's direction.  Clean, dry rags can be placed in the dryer and ran through a cycle to remove any remaining stain.  Repeat as needed.
