Easy way to get crayon out of grout?

Question

My daughter decided to get a little artistic in the bathroom and colored the grout with yellow crayon. Does anyone have a simple way to clean this out?

ALL of the grout? If so, I'd say scraping and re-grouting would likely be easiest solution.

If it's just in a few spots, you could try the brown paper bag + iron technique: cover the area with a layer or two of brown paper bag and then apply a hot iron to it. The heat of the iron will melt the wax and the paper bag will then wick it up. Try on a small section, first.

Goof off, tile brush and elbow grease.

You can also get "grout refresher" basically typex for grout that you paint over the old yellowed grout before you sell the house ;-)
