Oops, I Just Ruined the Dry Erase Board
This happens all the time…you grabbed the wrong marker or mistook a Sharpie marker for a dry erase marker and the next thing you know, there’s a huge permanent marker stain on your dry erase board. What on earth are you going to do?
Don’t Worry, Here’s 3 Great Tips to Saving the Whiteboard
We’ll here’s 3 simple tips to making that dry erase board new again.
- How about some good old fashioned elbow grease and some Expo Dry Erase cleaner. Put your muscles into it and you can rub that mark right off the board.
- Use nail polish remover and it’ll work like a charm, but can get messy so you will need a big bottle and probably clean twice over once to get the marks off and the other to get the stains.
- Try writing over the mark with another permanent marker and wiping it off the board immediately. This approach helps dissolve the underlying layer of marker, but you need to be quick and it only works if the stain mark is small.
Give these 3 solutions a try and see if they work. I’ve had great success with all of them and I’m sure you’ll find great results as well. If you find other cleaning supplies that do the trick, let us know. Next time, make sure you use dry erase markers.
