Take a Coconut Soap, wet it, and with a soft cotton fabric, rub over the board till it is clean!
After that, spread some furniture polish over the board to preserve it clean longer.
Dry erase boards are nice, but a real pain to get clean sometimes.
Just get a dab of creamy peanut butter on a dry paper towel, and smear it around. The take another dry paper towel or two, and start wiping it off. You will be amazed how much ink you get off. Even ink that you cant really even see, it pulls it right off!
To remove dried dry erase markings on a dry erase board (that won’t just wipe off freely), simply write over it with a newer dry erase marker. The wetness from the new markings will help free up the dried markings.
Isopropol (Rubbing) alcohol removes both dry erase and permanent marker ink.
spray water on it and then just wipe it off with a paper towel
NAIL POLISH REMOVER!!!
I purchased a special white board spray bottle cleaner especially for white boards and it works great!

409 works like a charm, just spray and wipe off.
Windex and paper towels will make a whiteboard like new. If you need to remove permanent marker, write over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker and then erase both. Works every time.
What is the board has been damaged from harsh cleaning chemicals?
How do you clean a whiteboard that has been damaged from the use of harsh cleaning chemicals and it no longers cleans easily?
White Board no longer holds the marker
My white board may be too clean. Have used various cleaning supplies– 409, Windex, etc., and now when I write on it, within a few seconds the words star 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?
Peanut Butter Works
My white board was in pretty bad shape. I laughed out loud when I read… smear it with peanut butter. I laugh even louder when it worked. How in the world did you come up with peanut butter? Did your kid smear your white board with it? In any event, Ta.
PB No Go :(
Isoprophal Alchohol was the only suggestion that worked on my Board.

To the peanutbutter lady. Works great, uses very little. My white board is like new. Rub the P butter then wipe off with wet wash cloth and spray with furniture polished and wipe dry with paper towel. Took me 3 minutes…Awesome thankyou
I heart you, Peanut Butter Lady!
Great suggestion — worked like a charm, and I didn’t have to worry about stripping the white board of its shiny protective finish.
whiteboard cleaning
i tried water with no success. rubbing alcohol did the trick : ).
Help Student used abrasive scrub
Student used pan scrubber on board before I could stop her. Now I cannot write over the patch . If I erase It leave horrible black mess. I can mitigate to faint grey with graffiti remover.But now I have area that I cnnot use. Is there any way I can fix this ?
My board wont erase even dry erase now
Some unruly students used permanent marker on my board, I used some cleaner to remove the marks but it seems to have left my board messed up. Now Even dry erase markers wont erase, they just leave an ugly smudge on the board. The board has been cleaned a lot with water and there is nothing on it. Still doesn’t work right. I find plenty of info on how to remove permanent marker, too late, now how do I remove dry erase!?!?!
Peanut Butter!
The peanut butter worked great! 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.
