Marking on hat straw that cannot be washed. Can I brush the pencil marks off? Or is there a better alternative? I am currently using very fine poin

This should be fine for that. I recommend marking lightly and brushing the mark off with a damp cloth. Test it on an unseen area first.

I use the dishwasher... Those straws are a pain in the butt to get clean any other way. I can't even be sure they are all that clean after the dishwasher but I'd think that'd be the best solution. Good luck!PS-I use one of those top rack dishwasher container thingys that you put smaller stuff in (ie. Straws, bottle nipples, small bottle parts) for the straws.

I use a Sharpie in the labeling area and it comes off after a good scrubbing with the bottle brush and soap. Alternatively, an ethanol wipe or a cotton ball dipped in rubbing alcohol also would remove the Sharpie markings.

Unfortunately, the white on mine has gotten somewhat dirty (I also got a pen mark on it which I could only partly get out right away). I haven't tried to clean it yet, but it seems like it's going to require the old magic eraser if there's any hope of really getting it clean. The pink hard plastic is still very clean, however -- might be wise to get a darker color in the silicon.

I have about 25 pens and pencils, a straight edge, a compass and a couple of erasers in mine. On the inside, where the pencil tips touch, has marks but it can certainly be washed. I've had mine for a few months now and it's still clean.I still don't get what the hole at the very end of the strap is used for. Any ideas anyone?

2 ways. as I recall, pull firmly on top portion or wash it with your clothes. I do not advise the latter, it made my pen non-functional. However, I had this about 1 yr ago and I do not recall the exact way to remove. However, the washer figured it out. I am sure this does not help, but it may make you chuckle at least.

I bought this as a gift to my Granddaughter. I have seen straw cleaners for sale on Amazon, however they may not be flexible. I would think holder the straw with tongs and running very hot water through it would be good. Sorry I couldn't help more!

You have to separately buy a straw cleaning brush. And in my experience, it gets moldy very quickly, even though we washed it after every use and set it out to dry. Found out the hard way when I saw a bunch of black stuff floating in it while my daughter was drinking her water!!

No, not well. The pencil's marks are are faint at best, and rub off easily. Ball point pens and felt tip pens are best.

The older version wiped off. Called oxo and they sent me these for free. They have fantastic customer service and these new ones I have had for 2 years and not a thing has rubbed or washed off. It's permanent

Good question. The brand is Karat, not Monster Straw. It might be a good idea to browse the Karat website.

While I have not tried this, I would expect it to dry on the lamination and then be permanent. Conversely, being plastic, I scrubber would probably take it off. Really just guessing from past experience. I love this marker because it's so big I can FIND IT when I need one.

Unfortunately not! I have now gone to scotch 3m plastic tabs ....kind of like page markers....OR....what I have done is put down the shiny scotch tape first.....then most things are removable from my containers and no residue left behind, I might also recommend an AMAZING sticky remover called "UN-du". It's like a miracle worker :). ....hope all that rambling helps

No. Get a Jerky Gun. I tried to use the Masterclass for cheese straws and it didn't work. I bought a Jerky Gun from Bass Pro Shops and it worked well.

Don't know for sure about the straw, but I often use disposable straws anyway (just remember to get the extra long ones or they don't work). The hard straws are a lot harder to keep clean - even soaking them doesn't always clean the inside surface enough to suit me. Have used pipe cleaners more than once to remove stubborn stuff.

I think I have heard to use rubbing alcohol...I tried heat...like from a match...dont do that! doesnt work. But seems like the pens that are the ones with japanese writing on them work way better then the ones that do not...I have had no trouble with clogging with them, the others...always!
