If used on fabric, how badly do they fade?

i only use them on paper [and they are great], so i have no idea...maybe i'll do a test on a fabric. what kind were you thinking?

Yes. We tye dyed them earlier in the summer and they still look good after many washings. They may look a little more faded than a 100% cotton t-shirt would, but as long as you really soak them with the dye and follow washing instructions, they should turn out fine.

Like all fabric with a lot of sunlight, it will fade to a grayish charcoal color. It will not effect performance.

I have spot cleaned with a fabric/carpet cleaner spray product and a damp cloth. No fading or any problems.

My cushions are white and I haven't had them very long so I'm not sure about fading. I did scotch guard them however. I just use soap and water to clean off any stains. The cushions are made of dense foam and it does take them some time to dry out completely after a rain. The two throw cushions were red and yes-they have already faded!

I would think so, it won't be perfect of course but it will make them not so noticeable at least. I used them for onesie decorating at a baby shower and they've been washed a lot and have not come out or bled. I would color the jeans first and then throw them in the dryer for 30 min to set the marker (that's what I did). Then you can wash and wear like normal.

I assume you mean fading. The color is still very bright but my grandchildren only use them when they visit, so they are not used all the time, but they love them!

Not so far. I have had three of them since April, and they are still the same color as when I bought them. I've had others in he past that have faded, but these look good still. We get a lot of sun during summers in Virginia.

We have had them for a year on a wood deck in the Texas heat and have not seen fading or had issues with durabilty. Ours are not used everyday, though.

No, I haven't noticed any fading. If you are experiencing fading, perhaps if you back down the amount you are using it would help. We have pretty hard water, so using the recommended amount has not produced any fading.

We wash them by hand and have had no problem with fading or discoloring. Hope this helps you. We love them.

We have had our awnings for over 2 years and have not noticed any fading. We live in a very warm client and our awnings are black, so I would think we would have encountered some fading by now, but we have not. I was just thinking this weekend about how great they look. We really love these awnings and they have been a good edition to our home.

I have done several drawings with these on watercolor paper - and put UV glass over them, but have had several that faded. I have bought and will try a UV spray on them to see if this helps. I love these markers and have enjoyed the blending aspects of them...but now I'm worried about all the gifts I gave using these pens - if they're close to the sunlight, they will fade.

They stay really well. I've washed mine a dozen times an haven't had any fading.

We have been macine-drying these (on low) for 5 months and have not seen any quality loss. We only put them outside to remove stains. They dry fast, as long as the dryer isn't too full!

I wouldn't think it would help with fading. The way UPF works it fills in between the fibers. You don't see any difference in your clothing. It does work well though at protecting your skin.

I haven't used them on fabric. I have used them on cups..I was told they would hold up better than the markers. Not so much. Actually, I think the markers hold up better, just not as well as I would like.
