MARKERBOARD

General Cleaning
First use & Maintenance

If present, remove the protective film

CLEAN ICON

Wipe the board with a clean mircofiber cloth moistened with a mix of isopropyl alcohol and water (30/70) **

In most cases water will clean
the surface just fine.

RINSE ICON

Rinse the surface with
water and a clean cloth.

DRY ICON

Wipe the surface dry
with a clean cloth.

Cleaning frequency depends on the intensity with which the writing surface is being used. Daily or at the very least weekly cleaning is recommended.

** Using an inappropriate cleaner may result in poor dry eraseability due to the build-up of residues from the cleaner on the surface.

Removing Markings
& Residue

CLEAN ICON
Moisten a clean, dry cloth with water.
1. Apply a small amount of an abrasive cleanser to the cloth.

2. Working in small sections, clean the area using a back-and-forth motion with gentle pressure.
RINSE ICON

Rinse well with clean water as soap residues
on the surface will result in decreased dry erase-ability.

DRY ICON
Wipe the surface dry with a clean cloth.
To quickly and easily remove permanent marker, write over the top of the writing with a dry-erase marker. Then, simply erase. In most cases, this will remove the marker.

Polyvision e3 surfaces resist this test, while painted surfaces are easily scratched and damaged.
