Will Crayola Sidewalk Chalk stain driveways and sidewalks

Crayola Sidewalk Chalk is a molded chalk made of Plaster of Paris and colour pigments. Although it is designed to be used on sidewalks and driveways, the chalk contains colourants, which may stain clothing and other household surfaces. If the chalk is used on a newly poured sidewalk or driveway, there is a possibility that the open surface pores in the concrete could absorb the colours. We suggest testing the Crayola Sidewalk Chalk in an inconspicuous area and then try washing it away with water. In most cases, the chalk markings wash away with the first rainfall if it is used on a paved or poured surface that is more than two years old. Crayola offers stain removal suggestions as a service to consumers. You can find this information by going to http://​www​.cray​ola​.com/​c​a​n​w​e​h​e​l​p​/​s​t​a​i​n​t​i​p​s​/​s​t​a​i​n.cfm. Please bear in mind, all the stain removal suggestions we offer have been tested in our laboratory but we are unable to guarantee the results. We recommend you test our suggestion in an inconspicuous area first. If you need further assistance, please call (800) 272‑9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Time and a representative will be happy to assist you.

While the marker barrel and cap are recyclable, not all parts of the marker are. Because the marker components are securely sealed during the manufacturing process, we don’t recommend trying to remove the marker nib and reservoir. The marker caps can be recycled at facilities that accept #5 plastic. 

Crayola offers an innovative program called ColorCycle that converts old markers into energy as well as wax compounds for asphalt and roofing shingles. The process repurposes the entire marker, regardless of the different kinds of plastics or how they are assembled. You can learn more about this program and all of Crayola’s other environmental initiatives at www​.cray​ola​.com/​c​o​l​o​r​cycle.

Spray the window with glass/​window cleaner as you would to wash the window. Then, follow-up with a quick wipe by using a dry towel. You could also use a water-dampened towel and follow-up by wiping with a dry towel. WETTING THE AREA WITHOUT USING A DRY CLOTH WILL SMEAR AND SPREAD THE RESIDUE RATHER THAN REMOVE IT.

Crayola Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and colour pigment. Paraffin wax is made especially for Crayola by companies who extract it from products like wood and coal. Pigments come from various sources. They can be natural or man made substances. Pigments can be found in the earth, minerals and/​or made in laboratories. These raw materials are purchased from outside suppliers and are stored in our warehouse awaiting production. All of our raw materials are delivered by truck with the exception of paraffin wax, which is delivered in railroad cars. Further information is considered proprietary. If you need more information, please call us at (800) 272‑9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Time. A representative will be happy to assist you.
