We’ve all been there. Either you grabbed the wrong marker or the kids use any marker they can get their hands on and next thing you know it, you got permanent marker on your Dry Erase board. Some of you know that we made two walls in our hallway into huge dry erase boards. Well that has been a challenge to keep clean. Three things that work well when we experience an Oops!

• Gojo Wipes – works but leaves a kinda oily residue that makes it  hard to write on the board again.
• Nail Polish Remover – works all the time but can get messy so you will need a big bottle and probably clean twice over once to get the marks off and the other to get the stains.
• Writing over the mark with another permanent marker and wiping it off immediately. This ‘dissolves’ the lower layer. You gotta be quick and only works if the mark is small or few.

As you can tell, my favorite tool here is the nail polish remover
