• Wet ink stains will cause old ink to flow and peel off the board, so when wiping erased ink stains, those that cannot be erased will fade.

Repeat if necessary. For stubborn stains and ink marks that cannot be erased, repeat the cleaning process. Overwrite the ink marks with erasable ink, allow to dry, and then wipe the board with a rag or eraser.

Wipe and wipe the board. Once you have removed any stains or indelible ink stains, wipe the panel clean to remove any remaining traces. Dampen the rag with detergent and wipe the panel vigorously with a damp cloth. Wipe off any remaining detergent solution and let the tablet dry. Some commonly used detergents for whiteboards are:

• Isopropyl alcohol (also known as rubbing alcohol)
• Antibacterial hand sanitizer
• Acetone or nail polish removers contain acetone
• Water mixed with a few drops of soap.
• Orange cleaning solution (like Goo Gone and Fantastik)
• Glass cleaner water
• Wet towels for babies
• Pam spray cooking oil or other spray cooking oils
• Solution for use after shaving
• Whiteboard cleaning solutions such as Expo, Solutions MB, or Quartet

Part 2 of 2: Perform daily cleaning

1. 

   
   
   Wipe the board thoroughly with the wet solution. Moisten a rag or sponge with your favorite cleaning solution. Make sure you are in a well-ventilated area if you intend to use harsh chemicals. Use a rag to apply the cleaning solution to the whiteboard and wipe it off vigorously.

2. 

   Wipe and dry the board. Once the ink is removed, rinse the rag or sponge with clean water to remove the cleaning solution. Wring out the rag and wipe it over the whiteboard with this damp rag. This will remove any remaining detergent solution. Then, dry the board with a clean, dry cloth. advertisement

Advice

• Avoid stains by using pens designed for whiteboards. Also, do not let the stain remain on the whiteboard for more than a few days.

Warning

• Some people recommend cleaning products like toothpaste, coffee, or baking soda (baking soda) to clean a whiteboard, however these are corrosive and can scratch the surface of the board.
