Markers
- – Dry erase whiteboard markers are what works best, clean up can be accomplished with a regular dry erase whiteboard eraser or a dry cloth.
- – Do not use “low odor” dry erase whiteboard markers as these have a tendency to produce stains or “ghosting” on any dry erase whiteboard surface.
- – Be sure to replace dry erase whiteboard markers before tip becomes frayed or dried; these conditions could damage the paint.
