MARKER BOARD/CHALKBOARD SURFACES
Daily Care and Cleaning
Wipe surface with a clean cloth moistened with a non-ammonia-based
glass cleaner then rinse with clean water. Wipe dry with a clean, dry
cloth. A more thorough cleaning may be required if the writing is left
on the surface for more than two to three days.
Special Cleaning
To remove crayon, transparent tape residue and other miscellaneous
stains, dampen a clean cloth with water and sprinkle a small amount of powder non-abrasive cleanser on the cloth.
Begin cleaning a small area with a back and forth horizontal motion using normal pressure as if cleaning a window.
Wipe off the residue with a dry cloth then rinse with clean water. Wipe dry with a clean, dry cloth.
Repeat if necessary. Use less cleanser for chalkboards.
Permanent Marker Cleaning
A quick and easy way to remove permanent marker from the board's surface is to write over the top of the
permanent marker writing with a dry-erase marker and simply erase. Also you can moisten a clean, dry
cloth with isopropyl alcohol. Wipe the board in a circular motion to loosen marker residue. Rinse with
clean water. Dry the board with a clean cloth. Use less alcohol for chalkboards.
TACKABLE SURFACES
Natural Corkboard
A mild soap and water solution is recommended for normal cleaning. If a more thorough cleaning is required
the use of a pH neutral cleanser is recommended. Rinse with clean water, then dry with an absorbent cloth.
Examine dried area and repeat if necessary.
Vinyl Corkboard and Tackboard
Stains should be removed as quickly as possible to eliminate any possible reaction between the staining agent
and the vinyl. Excess soiling such as chewing gum, crayons, paint or nail polish should be carefully scraped off
prior to other cleaning steps. Normal cleaning of Vinyl Corkboard and Tackboard should be done with a mild
soap and water solution. If stronger cleaning is required the use of a liquid household cleaner is recommended.
Rinse with clean water, then dry with an absorbent cloth. Examine dried area and repeat if necessary.
Fine Grain Colored Corkboard
Clean with a mild soap and water solution to retain its original appearance and freshness. If stronger cleaning is
required, the use of a pH neutral cleanser is recommended. Rinse with clean water, then dry with an absorbent
cloth. Examine dried area and repeat if necessary.
Fabric Corkboard and Tackboard
Stains should be removed as quickly as possible to eliminate any possible reaction between the staining agent
and the fabric. To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming or light brushing to remove dust and dirt is
recommended. Sponge clean dirt spots with a mild detergent or upholstery cleaner. Using a blotting technique,
without rubbing, should sufficiently remove most spots. Rinse well with a clean sponge to remove any excess
cleaning solution. A professional furniture cleaning service is recommended or excessive soiling.
