What harsh cleaners can do to your whiteboard
Most whiteboard cleaners of today are purely harsh chemicals. They smell like harsh chemicals and they react with the whiteboard writing surface like harsh chemicals. Although at first glimpse they seem to do their job they are deteriorating the whiteboard surface creating deep pits. The life of your whiteboard is reduced making it almost impossible to remove the shadows, ghosts and smears caused by the dry erase ink seeping into the unfortunate pits caused by harsh whiteboard cleaner chemicals.
Other whiteboard cleaner products are nothing more than what appears to be watered down wax. Analysis has provided results showing almost exact resemblance to a car wax. Our research purveys these "car wax" whiteboard cleaners do clean very well the first few times being used however, after a short period of time the whiteboard develops a wax coating. Consequently causing dry erase markers to skip when writing and felt and cloth erasers to clog and become stiff.Recently we have found whiteboard cleaner that is almost pure water! Even though pure water does seem to do a remarkable performance of cleaning a whiteboard, pure water is bad to apply to a whiteboard. On a metal backed whiteboard pure water will cause the writing surface to warp and even crack. Pure water on a wood product backed whiteboard will not only crack and warp the whiteboard writing surface but if the surface pits are deep the pure water can penetrate to the wood backing causing warping.
All whiteboard cleaners manufactured by our company are distinctively formulated to be safe on all forms of a whiteboard.
