DD has a habit of drawing on our lovely wood ostheimer figures with her bothers stockmar crayons; what can I use to get it off?? It's also on my remo fibreskin hand drums

I know vegetable oil seems to work with regular crayons. Not sure if it would work on the beeswax crayons. The oil would also seep into the wood--if you like that look or your wood needs moisturizing. ha ha! You could try a small amount and see...

My ds wrote all over the wood floor with beeswax crayon at school but we used a pine cream-cleaser to get it off.

Not sure about the drum head, but I've noticed giving a wooden toy a vigorous rub-down with a flannel cloth removes beeswax crayon marks for us.

you mean a dry flannel cloth? i'll give it a go, then try the oil...thanks!

 

[User101]

Yep, just a dry flannel cloth. Good luck to you!

If nothing else works, try Citrisolve. If you do, rinse rinse rinse with soapy water. It should do the trick though.

thanks, bowneyed, sol. I tried the flannel cloth and it got some off but not all of it, but I've been too scared to put oil on the wood so far...
