- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the target surface (e.g., whiteboard, metal cabinet) is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris.

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your dry erase magnet.
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the surface with a dry erase eraser or a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks or residue, use a damp cloth with water or a specialized dry erase board cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use, the magnet can be rolled up for compact storage. To prevent creasing, roll it with the dry erase surface facing outwards. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
- Material Integrity: The magnetic adhesion is designed to be durable and does not wear out over time with proper handling.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Xy Axis Dry Erase Magnet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
Problem: Magnet does not adhere properly.
Solution: Ensure the surface you are applying the magnet to is made of metal or is magnetically receptive. Clean both the surface and the back of the magnet to remove any dust or debris that might hinder adhesion.
Problem: Marks are difficult to erase or leave ghosting.
Solution: Confirm that only dry erase markers are being used. Erase marks as soon as possible after writing. For persistent ghosting, use a specialized dry erase board cleaner. Avoid using permanent markers, as they will stain the surface.
Problem: Magnet has wrinkles or creases.
Solution: Gently unroll the magnet and lay it flat on a clean, smooth surface. You may place heavy, flat objects evenly across the magnet for several hours to help flatten it. Ensure proper storage by rolling it with the dry erase surface facing outwards to prevent future creasing.
