Whiteboard Tips
Before Use:
1. Some boards are shipped with a protective plastic film to prevent scratches.
Be sure to remove this film prior to writing on the surface.
2. Spray your board with a white board cleaner and wipe with a soft cloth.
Rinse with water and dry with a soft, dry cloth.
User Tips:
Low odor dry erase markers are highly recommended for use in day cares and
schools. They reduce marker odor which some people might find irritating or
disturbing. Low odor markers may not erase as easily as high odor markers and
may ghost more but the odor reduction is quite significant. Expo brand provide
good erase ability and are highly recommended.
Do:
- Erase after every use with a clean, dry cloth or eraser (eraser should be
specifically designed for white boards)
- Use white board cleaner at least two to three times a week. An alternative is
99% Isopropyl Alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol).
Both of these items need to be kept out of reach of children.
- Replace your dry erase markers as needed to avoid ‘ghosting’
Don’t:
- Use abrasive cleaners, erasers, sponges or rags
- Use a chalkboard eraser
- Use a wet eraser
- Use permanent marker - Keep them away from your whiteboards!
Tips to Remove Permanent Marker
1. Using a dry erase marker, write over top of the permanent marker. Let dry.
Erase. Repeat a few times.
2. Use a white pencil eraser. Try to use Pentel Brand Hi-Polymer pencil eraser.
3. With a very small amount of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) on a soft
cloth, clean stained area only. Rinse with water. Dry with soft cloth. Repeat a
few times.
4. SoySafe white board cleaner and restorer is also perfect for removing
permanent marker stains. (Copernicus Product # AC405)
