Product Information
Full details
The Bi-Office Earth Eraser is designed for office workers, educators, and home users who require a sustainable, efficient way to maintain dry-erase whiteboards without the hassle of chemical sprays. It excels at removing long-standing ink marks with a smooth, consistent motion; however, users should note that as a dry-cleaning tool, it does not sanitize boards or remove non-dry-erase permanent marker residue.

FAQs
Does the cork material scratch the whiteboard?
No, the cork used is specifically processed to be soft enough to lift ink without scratching the smooth whiteboard finish.
Can I wash the eraser with water?
It is not recommended to submerge the eraser in water as it may compromise the structural integrity of the natural cork.
Does this work on non-magnetic whiteboards?
Yes, it works as a physical cleaning tool on any whiteboard surface, but you will not be able to use the magnetic storage feature.
Is this product non-toxic?
Yes, as it is made from natural cork and does not use chemical cleaners, it is a non-toxic option for classrooms.
How long will the eraser last?
Durability depends on usage frequency, but the cork is highly resilient and can withstand significant daily use before needing replacement.
Does the ink stay on the cork surface?
Some pigment will remain in the pores of the cork, which is normal. It will not transfer back onto the board during standard use.
Troubleshooting
Eraser is leaving streaks
The cleaning surface is likely saturated with ink. Tap the eraser firmly against a trash bin to shake off excess dry-erase pigment.
Magnet is not holding to the board
Ensure the board surface is magnetic-compatible and not obscured by thick overlays or protective films.
Ink is not coming off fully
Ensure you are using standard dry-erase markers. The eraser is not designed to remove permanent markers or grease-based pens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This eraser requires no formal setup—simply remove it from the packaging and it is ready to use. It is compatible with all standard magnetic whiteboards. To ensure longevity, occasionally tap the eraser against a hard surface to dislodge accumulated ink dust. Keep it away from wet surfaces or liquid cleaning solutions, as moisture may degrade the cork material over time. Store it on the magnetic surface of your board to maintain its shape and prevent loss.
