How to Clean your Whiteboard:
Cleaning your dry erase board is easier than you’d think!
- Use a Microfiber Cloth – that’s it! Wipe your board clean with a dry microfiber cloth!
- Use water or Windex – If wiping your board with a simple microfiber cloth doesn’t get it as sparkling white as you’d like, you can use water or a NON-abrasive cleaner like Windex to get it clean. Just spray and wipe clean.
Hacks for Cleaning Your Dry Erase Board:
- Remove Permanent Marker – Did you know you could remove marker from dry erase boards in most cases? Just write over (or trace) the writing that was done in permanent marker, then wipe with a microfiber cloth. Next, spray with Windex, and wipe clean again. Hopefully, that did the trick!
- Remove residue – Every once in awhile you’ll find that you have a sticky residue on your white board. This can be removed with adhesive removers like Goo Gone.
