Operating Instructions
Using your dry erase board is straightforward:
- Writing: Use only dry erase markers on the melamine surface. Avoid permanent markers or other writing instruments, as they may damage the surface.
- Erasing: For best results, erase markings promptly with a dry erase eraser. For stubborn marks or to refresh the surface, use a dry erase board cleaning spray and a soft cloth.
Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your dry erase board:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the board clean after each use with a dry erase eraser.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically, or when ghosting occurs, use a specialized dry erase board cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the board and wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the melamine surface.
- Frame Care: Wipe the oak fiberboard frame with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Ghosting or Faint Marks Remain | This often happens with older marks or if the board hasn't been deep cleaned recently. Use a dry erase board cleaning spray and a soft cloth to thoroughly clean the surface. Ensure you are using only dry erase markers. |
| Permanent Marker Used Accidentally | Immediately write over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker. Then, quickly erase both marks with a dry erase eraser. The solvents in the dry erase marker can help lift the permanent ink. Repeat if necessary. |
| Board is Loose on Wall | Check all mounting screws and brackets to ensure they are securely fastened. If wall anchors were used, verify they are properly seated in the wall. |
