If you use your dry erase board a lot, you're likely to have "Ghost Images" of things drawn or written a long time ago.
You can remove them quickly and easily!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Paper Towels
  • "Tuff Stuff" by Simonize
  1. Step 1
    Tuff Stuff Cleaner
     
    Tuff Stuff Cleaner

    Just spray a thin film of Tuff Stuff cleaner over your entire dry erase board. Let it sit for about 15 or 20 seconds to work.

  2. Step 2

    Wipe the board down with the paper towels removing all of the old marker. If you see any remaining marker on the board, just spray the area again, let it sit for another 20 seconds or so and wipe it down.
    You'll be amazed at how much marker comes off the board.

  3. Step 3

    Wipe the board down again with a clean, dry paper towel to remove any remaining Tuff Stuff cleaner residue.
    There you go! Your board is now back to its original pristine white luster and ready for use again.

  4. Step 4

    Clean your dry erase board a couple times each month to prevent a build up of old marker images.

Tips & Warnings
  • Tuff Stuff can be found in the Auto Cleaners aisle in your local auto parts store or discount store.
