It is NG？ that uses neutral detergent for indelible letters on the whiteboard.
Neutral detergents are effective against various contaminations. However, it is better not to use the writing on the whiteboard.
The reason why I don’t recommend neutral detergent.
The neutral detergent has an all-around image, so I think it will be effective for whiteboard characters. But most of the neutral detergents contain surfactants. Even if the letter disappears, if there is very little surfactant left on the surface of the whiteboard, it can become a stain (black stripes, etc.) that cannot be removed. You’d better refrain from using neutral detergents.
I can’t erase the letters on the whiteboard! The solution when the pen (marker) is the cause.
Even if you are using a whiteboard-only pen, the text may not disappear. I will introduce a solution if there is a cause in the pen.
Replace the pen(marker) if it is deteriorated.
Unerasable letters will be cleaned by the method introduced above, such as a wet mop. However, if the pen is deteriorated and the peeling agent is removed, it will not disappear as it did when used again. Let’s throw away the old pen and replace it with a new one.
I would like to use the peeler as a standard for exchange because it will disappear in about a year. Also, the solvents used in whiteboard pens are divided into three types: ‘water-based’, ‘ketone-based’, and ‘alcoholic’. Alcoholism is the easiest to disappear, so please check when you buy a new one.
I can’t erase the letters on the whiteboard! Solution when eraser is the cause.
An eraser is an item for rubbing and erasing letters. I will introduce how to deal with when erasers do not disappear.
Trim the eraser.
If you leave the eraser stain unattended, the remaining ink or eraser on the surface will harden and damage the whiteboard surface. It’s important to keep it meticulous and clean. However, the treatment method depends on the type of eraser.
Let’s check the appropriate management methods for each, such as sheet type to replace dirty parts and type to replace felt. If you are an eraser that can be washed with water, wash it with a neutral detergent, rinse it, and dry it.
But replace the eraser when it is not erased well.
The eraser, which does not erase the letters even after treatment, is stained with stains and scraps. Basically erasers are consumables. If you keep using it old, the whiteboard will get scratched, so you’d better change it. Choosing products that are easy to manage, such as sheet types, makes it easier to keep them clean for a long time.
How to use the whiteboard cleanly?
Here are two ways to keep a pretty whiteboard. Both are easy ways, so I hope you put them into practice.
Don’t erase it right after you use it, just write it and leave it for a long time.
The whiteboard pen contains a peeler, squeezing into a gap between the surface (whiteboard) and cursive (pen). It is a structure that is easily detached by using an eraser. Immediately after use, this structure does not work well, so it is necessary to wait for 10 to 20 seconds before being cleaned.
In addition, if left unattended for a long time, the peeler will volatile, so the letters will not disappear. I hope you delete it at least within the day. It is important not to erase it immediately after writing it, or not to leave it unattended for a long time (such as turning it off at the end of the meeting).
The eraser is carefully managed.
As mentioned above, stains on erasers cause letters to not be erased. It’s important to keep it meticulous and clean. In addition to the eraser is a type that can be removed when it is dirty, there is also a type that can replace the non-woven fabric so that it can be used repeatedly and OK for water washing. It would be good to check the product management method.
There is also a way to change to ‘Hallow Whiteboard’.
There are two types of whiteboards, each of which has a difference in surface material. Let’s explain the features of the hollow whiteboard.
There are ‘Hallow Whiteboard’ and ‘Still Whiteboard’.
There are two types of whiteboards: “Hallow Whiteboard” and “Steel Whiteboard.” Steel whiteboards can be purchased cheaply and the surface is painted with acrylic or urethane. Hollow whiteboards are expensive and have a glass surface.
The hollow whiteboard is the one that doesn’t wear out easily.
The hollow whiteboard with a glass film on the surface has excellent durability and surface strength. Compared to the steel whiteboard, it is not scratched well and the surface is not worn out well. The advantage is that the paint does not permeate the wound well, so it can be kept clean for a long time. If the stain on the existing whiteboard is not removed, consider replacing it with a hollow whiteboard.
How to clean the indelible text on the whiteboard.
Clean the indelible letters on the whiteboard with a wet mop first. If it still doesn’t go away, let’s use anhydroethanol or whiteboard cleaner. If you write it with a blank pen, follow it with a whiteboard pen and delete it.
If the pen is the cause, replace it, and if the eraser is the cause, clean it in an appropriate way. Neutral detergent is NG because it can leave stains when used next time. Remember it with a clean way to use it, such as not erasing it immediately after using it, and not leaving it unattended for a long time.
The conclusion is as follows.
The reason why whiteboard characters are not erased can be thought of as deleting them immediately after writing or leaving them unattended for a long time. It is important to check first because there are scratches or pens that are deteriorated. Most of them disappear as wet mops, but if they still don’t fall off, let’s use a whiteboard cleaner. If you want to stay clean for a long time, replacing the surface with a hollow whiteboard that does not wear out well is also an option.
