You have purchased a markerboard with the highest quality dry-erase surface available. However, with use, the surface may appear stained. Here are some simple methods to clean your board:

• Use dry-erase cleaner. (We highly recommend our low-odor, non-toxic, Evan's White Board Brite).
• Use non-acetone fingernail polish remover on a soft cloth or paper towel. This low-cost method is best for tough stains.

If you accidentally use a permanent marker or wet-erase marker on your dry-erase surface, try these cleaning methods:

• Wipe the stain with a soft, damp cloth (the tougher the stain the wetter your cloth may need to be).
• Mark over the stain with one of your dry-erase markers, let it dry, and then erase it.
• Try water or a non-abrasive spray cleaner on a soft cloth.

The markers you just purchased are currently the best markers available. They have a three year shelf life, and they tend to twice as long as typical dry-erase markers.

You want to get the maximum life from your markers. It is vital that you follow these instructions, so your makers will last a long time.

• When you are not using your markers, place the cap on securely and lay them down flat. Do not store the markers upright; they will dry out quickly. (For example, don't place them in a pencil cup.)
• Don't bang the tip of the marker on the board. Doing so will fray the felt tip.

Also, when using your markers, remember these tips.

• Although no dry-erase markers are "washable" (see the next point), these will wash off of hands with soap and water.
• All dry-erase markers are indelible on cloth materials. They can make a permanent stain on your clothes, carpet, upholstery, etc.

Your erasers are virtually indestructible. They're also easy to care for.

With use, your erasers will build up a residue from the dry-erase material. To clean the felt, simply:

1. Wash by hand with soap and water,
2. Rinse well,
3. Remove the excess water by blotting on a towel, and
4. Allow them to air dry.
