Product Information
Full details
This guide is for parents, educators, and individuals seeking a reliable and mess-free dry erase marker solution. The key benefit is the washable formula that easily cleans from skin and fabric, preventing common dry erase marker stains. A potential caveat is that the slim tip may be less ideal for very large surfaces or quick, broad strokes. These markers offer vibrant colors and a fine line for detailed writing, drawing, and organization on dry-erase boards, making them versatile for both creative and practical tasks.

FAQs
Are these markers truly washable from skin and fabric?
Yes, Crayola's washable formula is designed to easily clean from skin with soap and water and from most fabrics through standard laundering.
What is the recommended age for these markers?
These markers are safe and nontoxic, recommended for children ages 3 and up.
Can I use these markers on surfaces other than a standard whiteboard?
They are best suited for standard dry-erase surfaces like whiteboards, glass, and melamine. Using them on unapproved surfaces may lead to permanent marks or damage.
How long does the ink typically last?
Ink longevity depends on usage frequency and how well the caps are replaced. With proper care and storage, they offer a good lifespan for typical use.
What should I do if a marker dries out?
If a marker dries out, try storing it tip-down for 12-24 hours. Sometimes, gently rolling the tip on a barely damp cloth can rehydrate it, but avoid over-saturating the tip.
Does the slim tip make it harder to color large areas?
Yes, the slim tip is designed for detail work. Coloring very large areas may take longer compared to markers with broader tips.
Are these markers refillable?
These markers are not designed to be refilled; they are intended for single-use and disposal once the ink is depleted.
Troubleshooting
Marker is not writing or is faint.
Ensure the cap was on securely. Try storing the marker tip-down for a few hours. Shake gently. If the issue persists, the marker may be depleted.
Ink is difficult to erase from the whiteboard.
Ensure you are using a clean eraser or cloth. For stubborn marks, try using a dedicated whiteboard cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, followed by a dry wipe.
Marker has stained clothing or skin.
For skin, wash with soap and water. For fabric, treat the stain promptly with standard laundry detergent and wash as usual. The washable formula is designed to lift easily.
Marker tip feels damaged or worn.
Avoid pressing too hard on the writing surface. Ensure the marker is not used on rough or abrasive materials. If the tip is physically damaged, the marker's performance may be affected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These markers are ready to use out of the package. Simply remove the cap before writing or drawing. Ensure the cap is replaced firmly after each use to prevent drying out.
Compatibility: Designed for use on standard dry-erase surfaces, including whiteboards, glass, and melamine. Avoid using on porous surfaces or surfaces not intended for dry erase markers.
Care:
- Storage: Store markers horizontally or tip-down to ensure even ink flow. Keep caps on when not in use.
- Cleaning: For erasing from dry-erase boards, use a standard dry-erase eraser or a clean, dry cloth. For washable aspects, accidental marks on skin or fabric can typically be cleaned with soap and water or washed in a washing machine for fabric.
- Reviving Dry Markers: If a marker appears dry, try storing it tip-down for a few hours, or gently rolling the tip on a damp cloth (ensure it does not become saturated).
