Answer 2

Answer 3

The best way to clean off your dry erase board is to get a damp rag and wipe the white board, or you can get a rag and spray the white board spray on the rag and then wipe the white board with it.  Or to make it really easy you can do what I do which is just spray the white board with the spray and wipe.

Hope I helped!

Answer 4

I have used the actual solution that you get in the same isle in the store as the dry erase markers and boards.  It works good, but it's a little pricey for such a little bottle.  Something that works just as well is water on a paper towel.  With the water, you have to scrub a little harder, but it works just the same.

Answer 5

Easiest Method

Get a dry erase marker (yes, you make marks to take marks away) and a dry eraser. The darker the color of marker you use, the easier the marks will disappear.

Draw over what you want to erase (make sure you draw slowly to fill it in better).This takes a few times in each spot and so it takes a while and wears out markers.

Erase what you've written over as you normally would. Surprise! It erases. This is also a great method when you've accidentally used permanent marker instead of dry erase!

Toothpaste Method

The toothpaste method appears to be the leading alternative way for removing dry erase marker. Use ordinary white toothpaste. It contains a very mild abrasive and is water soluble. Plus, it will leave your whiteboard minty fresh! This method will also remove permanent marker marks from most smooth, non-porous surfaces.

Lava Soap

Lava Soap used with a damp cotton swab or washcloth works almost as well as toothpaste but requires a second cleaning for total erasure.

Orange Goop

A close runner up to Lava Soap and Cameo is Orange Goop, the hand cleaner sold at automotive stores around the country. Orange Goop contains a mild abrasive and should be used with care. Do a spot test first to make sure you don't remove the shine.  

Answer 6

windex it works wonders

Answer 7

1. I'm taking these are whiteboards...try getting like a cleaning spray and giving the board a good spray and then try and rub the marks off with a cloth.

2. Get  a whiteboard pen and scribble it over the old marks, spray and then wipe it off. (sometimes the ink from the fresh pen can remove ink from the old pen)

Good Luck
