How do I remove ghost marks from the whiteboard on the Children's Easel?

There are a few different methods you can try, depending on how stubborn the stain. We recommend trying each of these methods on a small test area before testing them out on the whole board. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as the whiteboard surface will become microscopically rough and retain "ghost marks" the next time it is erased, making it more difficult to clean in the future.

One method involves a magic eraser sponge, like those made by Mr. Clean®. These erasers alone or combined with the cleansers listed below can be used to completely remove stains from the whiteboard.

90% Isopropyl alcohol is effective in removing stains from a whiteboard surface, as are solutions of vinegar or baking soda dissolved in water. To clean the whiteboard, thoroughly wet a soft lint-free cloth with alcohol and wipe a small section of the board. While the board is still wet, wipe it dry with a clean, dry cloth. Rinse the cloth in warm water and wring it dry. This process should be repeated until the entire board is clean.

You may also wish to try the dry erase marker method. This involves completely writing over the stained area and allowing the ink to dry for a few seconds to prevent smearing, then rubbing the ink away using a dry lint-free or microfiber cloth. If the stain is set well, repeat this process a few times and use more pressure while wiping.

To prevent stains from settling in again rub a light layer of mineral oil or a spray-and-wipe style wax over the surface with a cloth. This will help seal the whiteboard surface.
