Hello there, fellow Black Hatter,
Does anyone have experience in getting crayon marks off a hat, and what do you think can be done?
December 31, 2013 6:27 pm at 6:27 pm #996673☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDid you try steaming it?
December 31, 2013 7:44 pm at 7:44 pm #996674HaLeiViParticipantI don’t want to set it.
December 31, 2013 7:48 pm at 7:48 pm #996675YW Moderator-29 👨💻ModeratorRemoving crayon from fabric is done by putting a clean cloth over the crayon mark and rubbing a very warm iron over it. The crayon should melt onto the cloth. I’m not sure why it wouldn’t melt onto the hat as well, though so maybe check with a dry cleaners for input.

Really not sure you”ll have success with any of the suggestions you got, but I guess it can’t hurt to try.
Sorry to admit it but your post gave me my CR smile of the day…

Don’t worry, Golfer. No one got punished. I didn’t catch him or her (probably him) in the act. But it was enough to tell him off. My feeling is that when you don’t catch them in the act they forget about it and the punishment goes to the wrong place. ???? ??? ??? ???? ???.
