Cleaning a white board can be difficult, especially if the ink has been on it a long time. Properly cleaning the surface will keep your dry erase board looking new and easy to read. This is a guide about cleaning a dry erase board.
For teachers, cleaning a whiteboard of all its remnants can be near impossible, but if you used WD-40, it will look new again!

I bought some Lysol wipes for my ladies' Sunday School class because we kept getting sick with colds. Aside from wiping down the table, chairs and doorknobs, I found the alcohol content made it perfect for cleaning dry eraser marker writing from our dry erase board!

I simply use household cleaner spray (409 in my case). Everything comes off easily. A few spots might need a little scrubbing, but not much. And the board comes out sparkling white.

I use fingernail polish remover to clean the dry erase board. Works like a charm, and gets all old ink off immediately.

Liquid hand sanitizer works well to clean a dry erase board.

Use toothpaste (the regular kind) and put some on a rag and scrub over the board where the ink is not coming off, then rinse, wipe with a clean cloth and dry.

Does the spray eyeglass cleaner you buy and then get free refills from Walmart work on dry erase boards? It would be bargain if it does. Does anyone know?

I bought a can of denatured alcohol at the hardware store and put it in my original Dry-Erase Cleaner spray bottle. Doesn't take too much to clean the board. I spray it on a rag and wipe. For red ink I spray it right on the board.
To clean dry erase boards, I usually use a paper towel with a little Windex.
How do I restore my dry erase board to it's original surface? I can no longer erase any markers easily.
