How to Clean Magnetic Dry Erase Boards
Our wide range of magnetic dry erase boards have three layers. The first layer is made from a special film layer called transparent PET. The second layer is white PET film and the third, magnetic layer is made from a rubber magnet. Don’t worry about layer 2 or 3, you just need to clean the first transparent PET layer. This is how to clean it:
Isopropyl Alcohol / Peroxide
You may use rubbing alcohol (or hydrogen peroxide) to clean your board. Use 90 or 99 percent isopropyl alcohol. Avoid the 70% ones as they don’t work so well.
Go ahead and mix together the alcohol/hydrogen peroxide with water, apply this to a microfiber cloth and wipe the dry erase board clean. If the stains are very stubborn, you can rub the isopropyl alcohol straight onto the stain. Let it sit for a while before wiping it clean with a soft dry cloth.
How to Clean Magnetic Dry Erase Board
Hand Sanitizer
You can use hand sanitizer on any stains, provided the concentration of isopropyl alcohol is at least 90-99%. Use the hand sanitizer directly by spraying or wiping it on a soft clean cloth, or alternately, a paper cloth. Wipe, allow it to sit for 30 seconds, then take it off with a soft clean cloth or soft paper towels.
Vinegar
If you would rather use a natural cleaner, apply a mix of vinegar and water. You can use one teaspoon of vinegar added to one cup of water or even 2 cups together (1 cup vinegar, 1 cup water). It is an inexpensive and natural method that can safely be used around little children.
Hairspray
Hairspray usually has isopropyl alcohol inside. You can spray directly onto the stains on the dry erase board and wait about 10 minutes. Then you will need to use a very soft and clean cloth dipped into warm water that has been mixed with mild detergent to get rid of any sticky residue. Afterwards wipe with a damp soft cloth and warm water, and then dry it off with a soft cloth or paper towels. Keep in mind that you can also use spray deodorant. It contains around 95% of ethyl alcohol.
WD-40
WD-40 works wonders on a dry erase board. Simply spray it on and it will not only get rid of stains, but will polish the plastic too. Make sure to wear an apron while spraying, as it can stain clothes, and keep it away from children.
Conclusion
Next time you go out shopping, make sure to pick up some vinegar, baking soda, WD-40, regular toothpaste, mild detergent, plastic bowls, hand sanitizer, and at least 90% rubbing alcohol. Also buy a ton of microfiber cloths and paper towels. This way, you will be organized and ready to clean any of our wonderful products!
