    I just washed mine in the washing machine, no problem. Don't dry it though, if there is any left it will set the markers.

    Try a wet Mr. Clean Magic Eraser...it works great for pencil marks.

    They do wash out beautiully, EXCEPT the yellow one. It will turn brown.

    A few drops of alcohol in the top end of the marker will give you enough blue to finish the marking. Just remove the white tip and drop a few drops in, replace the top and away you go. Should have give me a call. :thumbup:
