Smart Board Cleaning

Smartboard Cleaning Tips

1. Initial Cleaning:
   • Use a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid paper towels.
   • If needed, use a damp microfiber cloth with plain water. Ensure the cloth is not wet.
      
2. For Persistent Stains:
   • Apply alcohol-free glass cleaner (e.g., Windex) to a soft microfiber cloth. Never spray directly on the board; apply to the cloth and then gently wipe the screen.
   • Avoid getting cleaner into the pen tray recesses.
   • For stubborn stains, use Expo whiteboard cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
      
3. Avoid:
   • Sponges, Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser, abrasive materials, and harsh paper towels.
   • Permanent or dry-erase markers on the screen.
   • Applying pressure or using unapproved cleaning solutions.
      
4. For Severe Stains:
   • Diluted Bleach Solution:
     • Mix 4 tsp. of bleach per quart of distilled water or 1/3 cup of bleach per gallon of distilled water.
     • Apply with a spray bottle to a cloth; do not oversaturate.
        
   • Isopropyl Alcohol:
     • Use 70-90% isopropyl alcohol, pre-diluted. Dilute higher concentrations with distilled water.
     • Apply with a spray bottle to a cloth; do not oversaturate.
        
5. Note: Always test a small, inconspicuous area before cleaning the entire surface.

For assistance with severe circumstances, please consult custodial staff.
