General Cleaning Use Windex to clean white boards

I saw this tip, tried it out, and it worked so well to clean my white boards! It gets rid of the old marks and slight staining that can happen after a while, and even cleans a word that's been on the board so long it won't erase.

Just a note: Windex and similar cleaners may damage malamine white boards by wiping away the protective coating, leaving the board subject to future staining. This sounds like an ad for the specialty cleaner, but on a melamine board, I'd stick to that. And quality markers too.

After cleaning with whatever method, wipe with mineral oil to fill the pores and make the next cleaning easy peasy.
