(179 Products)What Are Washable Markers?
Washable markers are writing utensils that are non-permanent and erasable, such as dry-erase markers. These markers are meant for whiteboards or other surfaces compatible with marker erasers. Washable markers are easy to clean off many surfaces but should not be used on clothing or fabrics because they could still stain them.
What Are the Benefits of Washable Markers?
Washable markers are extremely helpful and have an array of different uses and benefits. Erasable markers are a great alternative to permanent markers and pens because they are non-toxic and can be washed off with hand soap and water if it accidentally gets on your skin.
Washable markers have secure caps that prevent the ink from drying out, making them long-lasting and perfect for repeated uses. These markers are also versatile and appropriate to use in any creative or professional setting.
