Melted crayon removal recipe

As per Karen's request, here is the recipe for getting melted crayon out of clothing:

2 max amounts (line 3) of concentrated Tide
1 cup Oxiclean
1/2 cup 20 mule team Borax
1 cup Shout liquid
1 cup white vinegar

I altered mine a little and didn't use the Tide after the first load soaked and was sooooo soapy. And I adjusted the amounts because I was doing little loads in my sink. After soaking, I rinsed them in the sink, then ran them through the rinse/spin cycle on my washer then washed them through a regular cycle. I resoaked the khakis yesterday and the crayon came out of those too. Not that this to happen again, but if does, I know how to fix it!
