To clean a whiteboard effectively:
- Use a microfiber cloth and water for light cleaning.
- For tougher stains, use a cleaning solution of 90%-99% isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, or a mixture of vinegar and water (around 1 teaspoon vinegar per cup of water).
- Spray the solution on the whiteboard, let it sit for a few seconds, then wipe it clean with the microfiber cloth.
- Glass cleaners like Windex® are also safe and effective.
- For permanent marker stains, trace over the stain with a dry erase marker, wait for it to dry, then wipe it away.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads as they can damage the board surface.
- For adhesive residue, use an adhesive remover like GooGone® with a soft cloth.
- Regular cleaning will keep the board in good condition and prevent staining.
This approach provides a safe, easy, and effective way to keep whiteboards clean and usable.
