As title says...
Never dealt with crayon so far so any advice appreciated!

Cheers

DriPro did ok for me a few weeks back.
Apply to cloth, dab onto mark, leave about a minute, and then with a clean cloth gentle massage it off. Try not to rub around spreading it.
Repeat.
Alternatively, apply dripro, then extract with hand tool.
Repeat.
Be aware that if the material is WHITE then it is unlikely you will remove 100% all signs of the crayon stain.

Citrus gel would be my first choice or something similar, pre- test first

Thanks for your replies guys. I was thinking of applying solvex to the fabric and then gently dabbing it with a terry towel and then maybe HWE it. Would that be suitable for removing crayon?

Cheers

try some solvall spotter as it works great on wax.
