According to Polyvision, the best way to maintain the cleanliness of your white board is to clean it regularly with white board cleaner. Oops.
Since I didn't have any white board cleaner on hand, I tried out several DIY Whiteboard Cleaners to see if I could get my 2 year old marker off without leaving anything behind. Here's what happened:
DIY Whiteboard Cleaners Test
1. Water + 1 tsp White Vinegar
2. Water + Rubbing Alcohol
3. Hydrogen Peroxide only
4. Windex only
While this technically isn't a DIY recipe, it is a household cleaner that most people have, versus whiteboard cleaner that not everyone has on hand.
I used Windex all over my whiteboard and it took off all the most recent (2 year old) text.
However, it didn't take off the ghost lines that have been there for years (those marker lines you can still see faintly after cleaning your whiteboard).
5. 70% Isopropyl Alcohol only
*Rubbing Alcohol is the ONLY thing that removed the "ghost lines" that have been there for years! I didn't use this all over my whiteboard because I was afraid it might damage the glossy finish, but it didn't. I still would recommend only using rubbing alcohol on the most stubborn stains.
