How to Remove Permanent Marker Stains From a Whiteboard

Introduction

In the guide, we used a permanent marker brand named Super Sharpie. Other permanent marker brands such as Mr. Pen-Jumbo and Zebra are also able to follow the guide to remove the stains off the whiteboard.

The guide will help you understand how to remove the permanent marker stains on a whiteboard through dry remove marker with the help of an old cloth and acetone. Using dry remove marker might not completely remove the stains but using acetone would ease the entire stains on the board.

Before following the guide, make sure to understand the effects of acetone to protect your hands as acetone might be an exposed substance to different individuals.

If you lay your whiteboard on the surface such as the floor or table made by wood, you should review these instructions here from preventing stripping of the wood and a backup plan if that is to happen.
