Step1
Mix a solution of lukewarm water and some soap. Place any plastic game pieces that don't have stickers into this solution. Wash them with your rag and rinse them thoroughly. Allow them to dry before returning them to the game box.
Step2
Scrape off any crayon marks on the game board. There also products such as WD-40 or Crayon-a-gone that you can use to remove marks. Test a small area on the board before using any products on it.
Step3
Use an eraser to gently erase any pencil marks on the board or to clean any paper pieces in the game, such as paper money.
Step4
Use rubber cement thinner, which you can purchase at an office supply store, to remove unwanted stickers or tape. Wet a corner of the sticker with the mixture and peel back. Keep adding the thinner as you slowly peel it off.
Step5
Wet a sponge or rag with your water and soap solution. Wring it out. Test a small area on the board to insure that the water and soap won't ruin the game board. Wipe the whole board down gently. Pay extra attention to stains on the board by rubbing them in a gentle circular motion.
Step6
Use another damp sponge or a rag, without soap this time, to wipe the board down again. Immediately dry the game board with a towel or rag.
