I looked everywhere for washable dry erase markers for my 3 year old daughter to use on her white board and for use on other items she has to use a dry erase marker. She has ruined some clothes because she accidentally marked on her clothes with the non-washable markers. I chose these markers over the only other item for sale because they offered free shipping with this item and with shipping and tax the price was more than I thought a few markers were worth (up to $20 for 4-6 markers)! We got the markers faster than I thought we would and was excited to let my daughter use them. I was upset to see that they DONT "quick dry", nor do they "erase easily". (I have not had to try out the washability of this item yet). My daughter cant erase her work with an eraser. If she tries to erase too fast (within a minute or two) then it smudges all the wet marker and I have had to get a wet cloth to wipe the boards. If she waits too long to erase it, then it wont come off at all unless I use a wet towel. She has a dry erase story book which these markers have stained. She has complained about not being able to do this on her own, and is asking for her old (non-washable) markers back. I thought these were dry erase markers, not wet erase!! I wish I had bought the other item for sale, which had more markers and more colors for more money (unfortunately, I don't know how well the other markers work). I wouldn't buy this item again.

These markers are terrible. They go on the whiteboard looking very "watery", i.e., you can barely see the ink. The color looks very diluted and they are very very very hard to erase. We have to scrub hard to erase the whiteboard after using these markers (and we have Board Dudes whiteboards and erasers!). The only thing good about these markers is that they are washable. They wash right off of the walls, skin and clothes.

These pens are not dry erase. I use them on the Board Dude dry erase board. They require a damp cloth on the board to remove the ink.

Have you ever tried to erase a lot of material on the white board and noticed how the ink starts to crumble into particles that get all over your clothes? SRX markers don't do that so they are my favorite by far over the other dry erase marker brands I have tried in the past.
I have been using srx markers for 4 years ever since I found them and have absolutely no complaints! Except for the fact that they are not as easy to find as expo markers.
Contrary to some reviewers, I have not had any problems with staining yet. However, if you're getting markers for children, I would probably go with something advertised for kids, or as washable. As far as I know, expo has washable markers available.

I purchased these markers today and tested their washability out of clothes. I made four small x's on a t-shirt and immediately threw it in the washing machine. None of the x's came out. I will be returning these; very disappointed.
