Don't you just hate it when you pick up the wrong marker and use it on your shiny clean whiteboard? Well, this article is designed to give you some awesome tips on how to get the permanent marker off and get a clean start on your whiteboard (literally!)

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Whiteboard
  • Dry Erase Markers
  • Washcloth
  1. Step 1

    First of all, you're going to need some permanent marker on your dry erase board, though if you don't have this already I don't suggest doing it!

  2. Step 2

    Take your regular dry erase marker and draw over the permanent marker. Leave this sit for atleast 2 minutes for it to absorb the permanent marker. You may need to go over it with the dry erase marker twice.

  3. Step 3

    Now take your washcloth and the permanent marker should come right off along with the dry erase marker! It's optional that you can use a bit of windex on the washcloth incase the permanent marker has been there for over a week.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't use permanent marker on your whiteboard again.. and if you do just follow this easy ehow article to get it off!
