All are solvents for the wax but will not damage the finish. Use a clean soft cloth and keep turning it. Finish up with a good emulsion furniture polish, not Pledge. Other advice: - There is no such product as Goo-B-Gone or Goo-Be-Gone - Nail polish remover (containing acetone) can remove most finishes -- do not use it. Acetone is what I use to remove stubborn finish after I've stripped furniture. - Heat can damage your finish, do not iron it - Alcohol, hairspray, vinegar and toothpaste are not solvents for the wax, all you are doing it scrubbing. Some hairspray contains acrylic that can simply top-coat the crayon. - Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are a light abrasive. While it may work, it will affect the gloss of your finish and used aggressively can remove the finish and color. You are effectively substituting abrasive action for a solvent that will dissolve the wax. Use Naphtha (also sold as lighter fluid), Goof-Off or Goo-Gone.

Put a paper bag over the crayon mark and iron it. The crayon will melt and stick to the paper bag. Since crayons are wax based you can use your iron. Put a paper bag over the crayon mark and iron it.

If any cleaning products don't work, you can blow dry it with a hair dryer. It should melt the wax, and you can easily just swipe it up with dry paper towel while its wet.
