CHAPTER 4 – USING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SMART BOARD INTERACTIVE 
WHITEBOARD

Keeping the Writing Surface Clean

IMPORTANT
•

Before you clean your interactive whiteboard, turn off or disconnect your 
computer so that you don’t scramble the desktop icons or inadvertently 
activate applications when you wipe the screen.

•

To view dirt or streaks more easily, set your projector to standby 
(lamp off) mode.

With proper care, your SMART Board interactive whiteboard will provide years of 
trouble-free service. Follow these tips to keep the screen surface clean:

•

Don’t use dry-erase markers, which can be very difficult to remove.

•

If dry-erase ink is used, erase it as soon as possible after use. The longer 
dry-erase ink stays on your interactive whiteboard’s surface, the more difficult it is 
to remove.

•

If erasing doesn't completely remove dry-erase ink marks, clean the writing 
surface with a household glass cleaner, such as Windex®, daily, weekly or 
as required.

•

Remove excess dry-erase dust with a damp cloth before using a cleaner.

•

Use dry-erase marker cleaner, such as Expo® dry-erase cleaner, if you can still 
see marks after using a household glass cleaner.

•

Don’t spray cleaner directly onto the screen’s surface. Instead, spray a light 
amount of cleaner on a cloth and then gently wipe the screen.

•

Don’t allow excess glass or whiteboard cleaner to flow into the crack between the 
lower frame and the writing surface, or into the pen tray slots.

•

Use isopropyl alcohol for stubborn stains and ghosting.
