Cleaning SmartBoards

Smartboards can accumulate dust and fingerprints if you use it often. If the smartboard needs some cleaning, make sure to do it properly and safely to avoid damaging your smartboard. A soft, microfiber cleaning cloth is recommended for gently cleaning away dust, debris, and fingerprints from the smartboard.

When cleaning your smartboard, never spray water or cleaning solutions directly onto the smartboard. Always spray a small amount onto the cloth first.

Preparation:

• Turn off the Smartboard (Shutdown)
• Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the smartboard.
• Avoid using abrasive or corrosive materials.
• Use a soft, microfiber cloth for cleaning.
• Always start with just some clean water on a moist soft cloth and if that does not work, proceed to using wipes. 

Cleaning Process:

1. Shutdown the Smartboard.
2. If needed, lightly spray a small amount of cleaning solution (e.g., Windex, screen cleaner, or water) onto the microfiber cloth.
3. Wipe the smartboard gently in one direction to avoid damage.
4. Repeat until the screen is free of dust, fingerprints, and smudges.

For Very Dirty Smartboards:

• Use a Clorox Wipe, Baby Wipe, Alcohol Wipe or Lysol Wipe if other methods are ineffective.
• Shutdown the Smartboard.
• Wipe the smartboard carefully with the wipe.
• Follow up with a microfiber cloth to remove any wipe residue.
