  • Use whiteboard cleaning products like the Parrot Products cleaning fluid every time you clean your whiteboard.
  • Clean all whiteboard erasers regularly, to remove old and current whiteboard marker ink and dirt. Do not use detergents to wash your aqua wipe.
  • We advise you use the whiteboard cleaning fluid together with your aqua wipe on a daily basis when cleaning your whiteboard surface.
    Use the right whiteboard accessories to prevent unnecessary stains and damages to your whiteboard.
     

What to avoid

  • Avoid using household or any cleaning products not formulated for whiteboard cleaning – This can permanently damage your whiteboard surface, leaving you with a damaged whiteboard.
  • Avoid abrasive pads or rough cloths when cleaning your whiteboard.

It is important to note that if a whiteboard marker is left on a whiteboard for a length of time it must be removed with whiteboard cleaning fluid or a damp aqua wipe.


If a permanent marker is accidentally used to write on a whiteboard, write over the permanent marker writing with a whiteboard marker and remove using whiteboard cleaning fluid or a damp aqua wipe.
