Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These are fun, but very messy. I bought these for my little ones thinking they'd be easier to clean up that regular markers. Unfortunately, they are not. They are not washable from skin at all. Here is a photo of my kid's hands after washing them with soap and water for a couple minutes, using a scrubbing cloth and scratchy sponge at times. Additionally, the box says the dot markers will wash from most fabrics when a bleach additive is used. That's not possible for many fabrics, so take caution and use paint smocks. The box actually says "no mess" and "washable" on it, which is very far from the truth. For those who have had luck getting these to wash easily from skin and fabric, what's the secret?
