Dry erase boards have been very popular for many years, mainly in schools and office buildings, but not only - they are also used at home. They are an interesting alternative to traditional chalkboards - you can write on them with colored markers, which is a great option, especially for visual learners. Regardless of where we use the boards, it is worth taking care that they enjoy an impeccable appearance and cleanliness for many years. But how to do it? What to use to wash dry erase boards from the marker? This is what today's entry is about and we would like to invite you to read it by Wallyboards team.
Before we move on to how to clean the dry erase boards, let's talk in a few sentences, why they are so popular and what is in favor of such equipment to be supplied to the home, office or school.
Already at the very beginning we can see the advantages in the simplicity of use. All we need to write on the surface of the whiteboard is a marker or a pencil. The use of such utensils is definitely more convenient than the use of chalk, which for years we had to deal with mainly at school and university. Why? The reason is simple - markers do not dirty hands or clothes, which is not so obvious in the case of chalk.
What's more, writing with colored markers ensures optimal legibility - dry erase boards are usually white or black, making most marker colors perfectly visible even from a distance.
