Which reminds me of a good way to remove melted Crayola crayons from the
upholstery of your vanagon after the kids left them on the seat in the sun!

Annnnd the answer is:   Take a heated clothes iron, a scrap towel, & place
over melted crayon until crayon is remelted & absorbed into towel until all
of crayon is on towel & not on upholstery.

This does not work well w/ poopy diapers, however.

Pax,

Tom B-never loose sleep over keeping the upholstery clean w/ kids-just plan
on reupholstering or dumping the vehicle when it is completely trashed.
