Also, other web sites have given a miriad of ways to cleaning Dry-Erase boards. They all can't be good for the board. I'm left more bewildered that I did before I started searching for the proper way to deal with the problem. HELP !

I accidently used a sharpie marker on my dry eraser board, I scribbled over it with an expo marker and then when I wiped it off. It ALL came off! Thank u for the suggestion.

A dry erase board is dry erase because of the top protective coat on the board. Removing or damaging that top layer with hard cleaners or abrasive towels will create permanent staining. The mild formulas of the manufacturers, I like Expo, are best.

I know that if a permanent marker was used on a dy-erase board then all one needs to do is to reactivate the permanent marker with a dry erase marker, then just erase. However, this doe not work for highlighter...anyone with some ideas? Thanks!

Spend a couple of dollars on dry erase spray cleaner found in office supply stores. Some colors are harder to clean off. Go over color with black and clean as you normally would. Black breaks down the color.

They will damage the finish, and shorten the board's life span. Many window cleaners have ammonia which is harmful to plexiglass, acrylic, and surfaces with plastic finishes.
