Remove Tape Residue from Dry Erase Board |
|
|
Our dry erase board use to be used for employee schedules. They used black electrical tape (at least 4 years ago) to create a grid. I recently removed all of the tape and there is a black residue left. I need to know what I can use to safely clean this board to remove that residue. We don't want to spend money on a new one if we can salvage this one.
Thanks,
Rene

RE: Remove Tape Residue from Dry Erase Board
I am trying to get tape off of my dry erase board. I have a lot to get off and I've tried rubbing alcohol which doesn't work. I am trying the Mr.Clean magic eraser and it works when you rub really hard, but the magic eraser really tears (crumbles) apart. If I continue with this method, I think it will use about 3 erasers. It sounds as though goo gone will work (but i don't have any)....I think i'll try baby oil and see if that works.

BTW, I was just using WD-40 (it did not get the tape residue off) and the bottle says harmful or fatal if swallowed and that it contains petroleum distillates. Based on that I would follow the precautions listed on the bottle.

Someone (Ann) asked if anyone knows exactly what is in WD-40. Here's some info (don't know if it's credible):
Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40
was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a
"water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth
formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.
Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.
It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned feeling away and heals with NO scarring.

Use windex and it works, better than "goo gone".

To remove sticky residue from labels, etc. we use baby oil, which is mineral oil on a tissue or rag. Never used it on a dry erase board...you would have to clean off the oil with at least soap/water b/4 writing on it.

try rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. Sometimes it takes a little elbow grease. Or use the product Goo Be Gone.

WD-40 will work.
Does anyone know what exactly is in WD-40? I've read lists of dozens of things that it can be used for but I hesitate to use it because I really don't like using chemicals in my home. Thanks for any info you might have.

You also might try WD-40. I know it takes off sticky labels, and it doesn't seem like it would hurt a dry-erase board.

I don't know if this will work without doing damage to your dry erase board ,but I'm pretty sure "GOO GONE" will take the tape residue off. Try a small place in a corner first. Wipe off the Goo Gone with a drop or two of liquid dish soap and warm water. Rinse well and DRY with soft cloth Good Luck. GG Vi
