Can anybody help?? My two year old daughter has crayoned on our cream carpet? How can i get it off?? Please help!!

Oh, my gosh!
Are you insured? It's sometimes better to let a professional do that...
Mind you, when I dropped a match on our new carpet I got the worst off with a wet baby-wipe, and trimmed the melted bit very lightly with good nail scissors.
No-one can tell.
Um - don't try this at home - I don't want anyone suing me!!!

I know I'm beginning to sound like an advert for WD40, but they have on their list of 2000 uses for WD40 that it removes crayon from carpet.

Because it's wax it SHOULD lift if you cover with brown paper and iron over it. I dropped a candle on my carpet a few years ago and I lifted the wax that way no problem, however, it wasn't coloured so I'm not sure if it would leave any kind of colour. You're maybe best going through your insurance as Astrojill suggests, the chances are they won't replace the carpet but use someone professional to lift it off :0)

I would try babywipes first!
