I'm always skeptical when it comes to "washable" products, but these really wash right out of fabrics! The only thing we've discovered they don't wipe easily off of is our black dining room chairs. While the color can be wiped off, the drawing lives it's shadow (best word I could think of). It wipes easily off of our stained wood dining room table though.

My only real complaint about the markers is the colors available. The purple, blue and green are really the only colors dark enough to see clearly. It'd be nice if they made bolder colors.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boo! Ruined our whiteboard...., September 13, 2010

Just tried these today on our kid's IKEA dry-erase easel, and the pink and blue colors left permanent stains on the whiteboard surface. The other colors wiped off adequately, but the board is now ruined. We tried following EXPO's website instructions for removing marker stains... the stains are now lighter but still very much there. We have used standard EXPO markers on this board for over a year without any hint of a similar problem. This is an issue unique to these new "washable" (not!) markers. Obviously I would not recommend wasting your money on them, as you are apparently taking a chance on destroying whatever surface you use them on. If you really want to try them, I'd suggest you make a small mark with each color in an inconspicous place on your whiteboard and then see if you can remove it. Looks like EXPO spent too much energy on marketing, and not enough on product testing?

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very washable at all, August 13, 2010

I was very excited to finally find washable dry erase markers on the market. Unfortunately they are nowhere near as washable as they claim and it took me quite a bit of scrubbing with stain remover and several washes to finally get the stains out. Normal washable markers come out with just a little spray & wash, but these are much more difficult to wash. Bummer because my kids were really excited about them...
