That way you don't smear its dirt all over your newly cleaned board. Also, be sure to clean your dry ERASER with hot, soapy water ( rinse very thoroughly) and leave it to dry overnight.

Fabulous. With very little elbow grease I now have a clean white board that I thought I might have to throw away. Thanks!!!!

Avoid all others, as they all use very harsh abrasives that will dull the board and leave permanent marks the first time you write over the surface you've marred. the pumice (moon dust) that BonAmi uses does NOT appear to damage my board and I’ve used it more than a half dozen times.

Then I sprayed a little Old English furniture polish on, and the white board is as clean as new. I wrote on it too, and it's perfect. The peanut butter worked great!

Have used various cleaning supplies - 409, Windex, etc., and now when I write on it, within a few seconds the words start to vanish- it's as if the board repels the marker and the marks just bead up and go away. Is there anything I can do to refinish the board or apply something that will allow the white board to accept the markers again? My white board may be too clean.
