FAQs
Can this eraser remove permanent marker?
The blue side is designed for standard ink pen marks. It is unlikely to effectively remove permanent marker without significantly damaging the paper.
How does the blue part work on ink?
The blue part of the eraser has a slightly more abrasive composition specifically formulated to lift ink from paper fibers. It works best on non-permanent inks.
Is this eraser safe for children?
Yes, the eraser is suitable for adult and children and is free from latex and phthalates, making it a safe choice.
What is the difference between the white and blue sides?
The white side is a standard eraser suitable for graphite (pencil marks). The blue side is specifically designed with a different composition to erase ink marks from paper.
How do I open the cellophane packaging?
The cellophane packaging features a practical tear-off thread. Simply pull the thread to open the wrapper easily.
What are the dimensions of the eraser?
The eraser measures approximately 43 mm in length, 19 mm in width, and 13 mm in depth.
Does the eraser contain latex?
No, this eraser is formulated without latex and phthalates.
Troubleshooting
Eraser not removing marks effectively
Ensure you are using the correct side of the eraser for the mark (white for pencil, blue for ink). Apply steady, even pressure. For ink, a light scrubbing motion on the blue side may be necessary. Ensure the eraser surface is clean.
Eraser is smudging instead of erasing
The eraser surface may be dirty or contaminated with oils. Clean the surface by gently rubbing it on a clean piece of paper. Wash hands before use. Ensure the paper is suitable for erasing.
Blue side is too abrasive for the paper
Test the blue side on a scrap piece of paper first. Apply lighter pressure and use a gentler motion. If significant damage occurs, refrain from using the blue side on delicate paper or valuable documents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
- To maintain performance, keep the eraser clean. Avoid touching the erasing surfaces with dirty hands.
