    You will need paper towels and an electric iron. Heat the iron to a medium setting. Place doubled over paper towels on the crayon stain. Place the iron onto the paper towels. As the crayon melts, it will be absorbed by the paper towels. Reposition the paper towels so that clean paper is on top of the melting crayon. The trick is to melt the crayon but not get the cloth seat so hot that the cloth seat begins to melt. Most cloth seats are made with syntgetic oil based materials and if they get hot enough, the will be damaged. Good luck.

    you can heat it with a hair dryer taking care not to melt the seat fabric. then blot the melted hot crayon with a paper towel. repeat until gone. Remember a crayon is only wax. Don’t rub when melted or it could make the problem worse. If the crayon didn’t melt to much you can possibly use ice to cool it. put the ice in a baggie so you don’t get your seat wet. Then take a stiff bristle brush and remove the wax.
