What care practices extend the life of a commercial whiteboard?

To maximize whiteboard lifespan: 1) Use quality dry-erase markers — cheap markers increase ghosting and surface penetration. 2) Erase regularly — don't let marker ink dry on the surface for extended periods. 3) Clean thoroughly before weekend or holiday closures — marker left over a weekend is significantly harder to remove than freshly applied ink. 4) Use appropriate cleaning products — mild board cleaner or water for routine cleaning, isopropyl alcohol only for stubborn stains. 5) Condition the board every 1–3 months using a whiteboard conditioner. 6) Never use permanent markers on a whiteboard; if accidentally done, remove immediately with isopropyl alcohol. 7) Protect from direct sun exposure — UV fades and degrades melamine surfaces. Following these practices can double the effective life of a commercial whiteboard. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
