Tips & Tricks for Chalkboards and Markerboards
MARKERBOARDS
How do I clean and care for my dry erase board?
Cleaning and caring for your markerboard is simple and easy! Any standard felt eraser or
microfiber cloth will handle normal cleaning, and if the board needs additional cleaning, dry

Dry erase markers are recommended, as they’re designed specifically for markerboards.
Before using any other types of markers, check the packaging information prior to writing
on the surface and do a small spot check for eras ability prior to proceeding. Dry erase
crayons work on markerboards as well.

Rubbing alcohol and a rag or paper towel to the rescue! Apply a few dabs of rubbing alcohol
to your rag/paper towel and rub the markerboard clean.

tooth or higher sawblade. The more teeth, the finer the cut and the less the risk for
blowouts.
Is it magnetic?
