	We recently had a load of laundry go thorough our dryer with
a few of our daughter's crayons along for the ride.  Needless to say, it was
a mess.  The real problem is with one white shirt which now has melted crayon
die is a few spots.  As I can't imagine this not happening to at lease one other
unfortunate in the world, I thought I'd ask if any of you net.parents had some
secret for getting this stuff out.  We have tried washing with presoaking and
prewash sprays, but to no avail.  Before we give it to the Dry Cleaners,
I would like to get some suggestions.

Respond by mail and I'll summarize of responses and requests warrant it.
