Just that really!

Does anyone know of whiteboard, dry erase markers that will wash out of clothing before we end up with ruined school uniform in the first week again!

I can't advise on specifically water supply libel white board pens, but I can tell you that white board marker is soluble in the alcohol in hand sanitizer gel, so take out the marks with gel and paper towel before you wash the items and they'll be good as new.

That's water soluble not supply liable, obv Smile

Yeah Wilko and Tesco do them. Also Amazon.

Just google 'whiteboard pens.'

Having done that and bought many different types I have yet to find any that are washable out of clothing and as a result have pretty much every item of school uniform stained with them.

Oh right sorry. I didn't realise they didn't wash out of clothes.... Blush

Not sure then. Sorry....

Yep - use high alcohol hand gel or some cheap vodka to get the stains out before you wash.

Rub some really strong hand sanitiser on the mark before washing it.
