    Whiteboards are used everywhere. We see them in classrooms, businesses, offices, restaurants, and even our homes. I’m sure you have experienced issues like your markers not writing well, residue, scratches, stains and ghosting.
    Most people just use their dry eraser to wipe their boards down, but never actually take the time to clean them every once and awhile. Not taking care of your whiteboard properly can lead to permanent damage to the surface of your whiteboard.

    Since I very recently bought myself a personal dry erase board with markers, I decided to watch this and THANKS for the cleaning tips for my erase board! I just LOVE using it! I hope that all business and learning institutions are replacing those old dusty chalk boards with dry erase boards! THANKS again for your cleaning tips for my dry erase board!

    Traditional Windex will scratch and remove the coating on most plastics. Make sure you read the label before applying it or you may end up throwing away your freshly cleaned whiteboard.

    So every school I go to use just regular white board eraser duster. We have rugs in class for cleaning days (similar to what the Japanese do). I would randomly wipe the board at the end of the day with damp rugs and it looks so much cleaner. I wish there is water or cleanser dispenser . I've even quickly wet the duster and wipe and hide the fact I've dampen the duster because teacher might scold me

    Only one method has worked for me: use a new whiteboard marker, any colour, and use it to scrub into the letters on the whiteboard. It will dissolve very old markings. Use a microfibre cloth to wipe off the inks. Then, finish with a Mr Clean white cleaning pad.

    When my whiteboard calendar shipped, it was packed with packing tape and some of the tape was stuck to the surface in a few spots along the edge of the whiteboard. It came with zero maintenance instructions. I'm wondering what I can use that is non-abrasive, yet will clean the tape off the surface without damaging the surface. I'm thinking about maybe using Awesome Orange, but I'm afraid that will damage the surface. I might try it in one spot to see what happens. Goo Gone sees awfully strong for cleaning off tape.

    • @brucenator
      @brucenator Před 2 lety

      Awesome Orange didn't work, but didn't harm the surface either. I ended up using the oldest cleaning tool known to man to slowly scratch the tape off the surface, followed by wiping with microfibre. Surface is tape-free now.
