What is the best product to use to clean the dry erase marks on the laminate without damaging the surface? I'm using a dry paper towel right now and it's leaving a blurred colored smudge.

We use that expo dry erase spray and that works out pretty good. Doesn't erase to well without it...

We have one in our busy clinic. We've found a spray bottle with water and vinegar works best and is the cheapest.

I use an SOS pad to clean mine. It does not damage the finish. I have cleans it several times.

I haven't had a problem. If there has been any residue (adhesive) I use a clorox wipes or a wet paper towel.

Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, we have had great results with using our markers on blackboard contact paper. However because these products can vary in quality, we would recommend you test a small inconspicuous area of your surface first to ensure you have no problems wiping away the ink or there are no ghosting affects. We hope we have answered your question sufficiently, if you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us again. Enjoy creating works of art on your blackboard contact paper! Kind regards Lilly Morrison - Inspired By Craft

Brittany, permanent marker is probably just that: permanent. But....I trust the magic wand if used properly, and what have you got to loose? Rub the wand into the stain with vigor, wet a toothbrush and scrub the area. Add a bit of laundry detergent with the toothbrush then rinse, pat dry. You MAY have to repeat the process. Good luck!

You can use Con-Tact on any smooth surface that has been sealed. The surface should be cleaned thoroughly. I used rubbing alcohol on the metal surface of my table before applying the Con-tact. Remove the backing paper gradually as you apply the material and press it down.

Yes, Yes and Yes!. Is way better for laminate and hardwood floor. I used to wipe my floors with cleaning products (chemicals). that we're suppose to be for this kinds of floors and all what they did at the end of 8 years was leave a built up in my floor that are almost impossible to remove. Little by little I've been able to remove it with the steam. There is a LOT work to do in my case, but I regret of using the chemicals ( specially the one is called miracle shine, it's terrible at the end!)

No. If it is not properly applied, it can be pushed out of shape when you erase over the top. The adhesive is good, though, so just apply some pressure along the line to make sure you have a good stick. It will not leave marks of its own, but you may want to take care if you are wiping a lot of dry erase from the board because it can leave residue along the edges of the tape. If that happens, you can take a damp (not wet) cloth and run it lightly down the seam where the residue is built up.

The reason I bought the contact paper was so I could cover my son's favorite coloring pages and he could color them over and over again using dry erase markers. It works GREAT! No residue at all IF you use the correct kind of dry erase marker. DO NOT USE "low-odor" markers. They will start to leave a residue after just a few uses, but the regular ones work great. I've been using the SRX dry erase by The Board Dudes with no issue at all.

Never use acetone for cleaning any kinds of plastics and/or painted marks (eg. keyboard letters) as acetone will wash them away. Acetone might also leave permanent foggy spot on some plastics, since acetone dissolves it. Use alcohols instead. There is a reason why acetone is contained in nail polish remover and not alcohol.

Not sure about laminate since I only used it for my hardwood. I believe it works the same as the more expensive brand product. It does not leave a sticky substance.

I was having a very hard time until I thoroughly cleaned my whiteboard. Even though it looked clean, apparently it had some sort of build-up on it. I wiped it down several times with a commercial whiteboard cleaner after having absolutely no luck. While never a "breeze," calibration became easier and faster after cleaning my board and never writing on it at all while using the Now Board.

I just used the board cream. It's kind of frustrating though because I used it regularly and my board warped anyway...even though I made sure it never got put in the dishwasher. I would still recommend it. It moisterizes the wood really well.

I use a wet wipe to take it off a chalk board. I just tried it on a dry erase board and it wiped off.

I have no idea why you couldn't. You might have to use dry erase board cleaner rather than just wiping it off. But I would think it's ok.

I have sprayed it with all purpose cleaner and used paper towels a few times. It was colored on with marker and I used the scrubbing side of a lysol wipe and the marker came off and did not damage the surface at all. It is durable.

I read on a similar post a person said do not use on the "stick it yourself laminate flooring". It was with a similar steam cleaner like this. It was ruined. I have regular laminate flooring, but it will peel up too. Be careful!

Hi Barbara- From my experience my boards that looked pretty yucky came alive when I rubbed in the Boos. It brings out the wood grain and seals the surface really well. I rubbed in the Boss for a few minutes, let it sit overnight and then rubbed it off. I did that a couple of months ago and I haven't had to do it again...... yet. I probably will have to do it every 3 months- that is a guess at this point. Yes- I have not had any watermarks or stains- even beet juice washes off easily. I'm sure you will be glad you used this product. It goes a long way.......
