Cleaning a dry erase board is sometimes more trouble than it’s worth. It doesn’t matter if it is a portable dry erase board, mobile dry erase board, magnetic dry erase board or a done over chalkboard…
There are times when it’s virtually impossible to remove the markings from a marker board. I am going to show you how to remove any stair or leftover markings with simple house hold products. We will start off with the most common items to use and, if needed, get into the real heavy duty cleaners.
Things you will need for a basic cleaning:
- -Rubbing Alcohol
- -Baking Soda
- -Water Bottle
- -Paper Towels
You simply take 1/2 cup of water and add 1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol to your water bottle. Now gently spray (while covering the whole surface) and let it sit for a few seconds. Now just gently wipe off the remains and you should have a fresh looking dry erase board!
If for some reason this didn’t work, lets try something else!
Go grab a little baking soda and apply it to a damp paper towel or cloth rag. In circular motions, rub the baking soda over the surface of the dry erase board. Take your water bottle from before and spray it on top then, using a clean rag or towel, wipe it clean.
Oh, you have a dry erase board that has ink, which refuses to come off? Ok no problem… watch this! This usually happens with old magnetic dry erase boards and sometimes the black mobile dry erase boards.
Head into your bathroom and grab either hair gel or hand gel. (No I am not kidding) Any type will suffice. Grab one of your rags from before and apply a sufficient amount to it. Grab hold of that cloth and start rubbing. See what happened? All clean!
If you doubt any of these methods… here is a video for some proof!
