5. Maintenance and Care
5.1 Regular Cleaning
Regularly clean the whiteboard surface to prevent ghosting and maintain optimal writing performance. Use a dry-erase board cleaner for best results, especially after heavy use.
5.2 Deep Cleaning
For occasional deep cleaning, apply a specialized whiteboard cleaning solution to a soft, lint-free cloth and wipe the entire surface. Immediately wipe dry with another clean, dry cloth to prevent streaks.
5.3 Do Not Use
Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool, or sharp objects on the whiteboard surface, as these can cause permanent damage, scratches, or dull the finish.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Marker Marks Not Erasing Completely (Ghosting)
- Ensure you are using only dry-erase markers specifically designed for whiteboards.
