Most stains can be removed with a whiteboard cleaning spray. However, there are some instances where a stain cannot be removed. If ink was left on the board for an extended period of time, there is a strong likelihood that the stain cannot be removed. This will vary depending on the surface type of the board.

Cleaning your glass board can be done in a few easy steps. You will need 3 things: • A dry-erase marker • A board cleaner • A towel Step 1: Erase the entire board’s surface. It is very important to erase the entirety of the board to eliminate any excess dry-ink dust. This is a vital step to keep a clean and clear surface. Step 2: Apply Cleaning Solution across the entire board. The cleaning solution helps the board resist staining and ghosting. It lifts the dry-ink dust and dirt with ease from your board.

Additional Cleaning Tip and Tricks • To prevent stains and ghosting, erase all ink off of your board after each use • Keeping your markers fresh is very important as well because fresh marker ink is easier to erase from the board’s surface, so it is important to put caps on all your markers tightly after each use. • Erasers can build up residue after multiple uses, so you can wash the microfiber section of the eraser or you can routinely replace your eraser in order to always use a fresh one.
