But, have no fear. Googling saved my whiteboards, and it can save yours too! Google/Pinterest told me that WD40 would revitalize my white boards. Most of the sources I found were slightly iffy Yahoo! Answers-type things, so I figured I'd weigh in as an actual, honest-to-gosh teacher ... it works. A little smelly, so do it one afternoon so it can air out a little, but it works like a charm. Hallelujah!
This is so good to know! I have a few boards that need to be "treated!" Thanks for sharing.

No problem! It's saved me so much frustration and quite a bit of $$ if I'd tried to replace the easel I already have. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! Thanks for sharing, Heather
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't wait to try this. It is nice to have a review from a real teacher!

I know this is an older post (I got here from a Pinterest Pin, then 'How does she' site...), but I thought I'd mention that Mr Clean Erasers also work great to get those marker streaks off whiteboards. I am hoin yo try WD 40 to see if I can get some shine back in mine. I didn't know we shouldn't used wipes though...Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteI would avoid Mr Clean Erasers - they are abrasive and will destroy the white board over time.
DeleteIt’s amazing in support of me to truly have a blog site, which will be valuable meant for my knowledge. Thanks admin. ReMARKable dry erase wall
