We have permanent marker on our dry erase board! We have tried board cleaner and alcohol, but the shadow remains. Any suggestions?
I work in the school setting. I 'accidentally' used a regular marker instead of a dry erase marker on a dry erase board. Needless to say, the ink would not come off or what I could remove left a horrible smudged stain.
I was using the dry erase marker and wrote right over that smudge and then erased it. The dry erase marker must have a solvent agent in it as it removed the smudge. I found I sometimes must scribble over the site and immediately rub off with a tissue for a clean dry erase board.

I just tried the alcohol and it worked like a charm!
Thanks!
If your dry-erase board was "gratified" by a permanent marker, use a dry-erase marker to color over it. It will erase it like magic.
Use rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer to clean dry erase boards. As a teacher, I found board cleaner did not get my boards completely clean. I poured alcohol into a spray bottle and only use it on my boards now. Much cheaper than board cleaner.

I tried cheap hair spray& wiped with micro fibre cloth, made me gag a bit but did the job nicely.
I accidentally used a marker on my dry erase board, and am not able to erase it with the dry erase spray.
How can I remove permanent black marker from a whiteboard?

Cover the mark with a dry erase marker and erase as usual. Repeat as needed and this should do the trick.
WD-40, nail polish remover, Mr Clean eraser-pretty easy to do but also hide the Sharpies!
Accidents happen, such as when you grab a permanent marker instead or a dry erase one to write on your whiteboard. This is a page about removing permanent marker on a whiteboard.
