I recently used the green to mark and it didn't all wash out the first time, so I rewashed it with warmer water, and it all came out. Don't know if it is just my imagination, but I think the Crayola washaways came out easier than the Ultra Clean ones. I think the last quilt I marked with them had to be washed twice. I guess it could have been the fabric type though. It was a white on white snowflake design.
