FAQs

Can I use permanent markers on these boards?

No, permanent markers will damage the surface. Only use dry-erase markers.

Are the markers included in the pack?

No, this pack contains only the 5 whiteboards.

What is the size of the board?

The boards are A3 size, providing a generous area for student work.

Can these be wall-mounted?

These boards are designed as portable, handheld tools and do not come with wall-mounting hardware.

Are the boards safe for young children?

Yes, they feature rounded corners and a robust plastic frame to ensure child safety.

Troubleshooting

Ghosting or lingering ink marks

Clean the board with a dedicated whiteboard cleaner or a small amount of isopropyl alcohol and a clean microfiber cloth.

Marker is not wiping off

Check to ensure the pen used was actually a dry-wipe marker. If it was a permanent marker, draw over the marks with a dry-erase marker and wipe immediately.

Magnetic items sliding off

Ensure the magnets are lightweight and specifically designed for magnetic whiteboards, as heavy or non-magnetic accessories will not hold.

Pros and Cons

  • Double-sided design maximizes utility

Cons

  • Surface may develop staining if permanent markers are accidentally used

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The boards come ready to use right out of the box. There is no assembly required. For compatibility, ensure you use high-quality dry-wipe markers intended for non-porous whiteboards; avoid permanent markers or oil-based pens at all costs. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth or a dedicated whiteboard eraser. For deeper cleaning if markers have been left on too long, a standard whiteboard cleaner spray or a light solution of mild soap and water can be used, followed by a thorough drying. Store the boards vertically in a classroom rack or flat in a storage tray to prevent the edges from scratching the writing surface.
