| Clean Shiny White Board (Not mine, because I suck at DIY photos... source) |
Today's post is
short and sweet, but I'm putting it up anyway because it's been on my
mind.
Did you know you can
recondition a white board for dirt cheap? The secret? WD-40.
No
lie! All you do is scrub the white board down thoroughly (one of
those nylon scrubby sponges works really well for this – you don't
want to scratch it, but you do want to get all the old marker and
dirt out). Dry it, then spray the surface with WD-40 and rub it in.
Let it dry, and repeat if needed until you get a nice, fresh, glossy
finish.
Tip:
Much like waxing a hard wood floor, several thinner layers work
better here than fewer, thicker ones. (See, Love? I was paying
attention when we waxed the floor this year…)
I
am a big fan of white boards for a lot of things, and the big one I
keep just off my kitchen (which, incidentally, has been used daily
for something like eight years) periodically needs redoing. I just
finished reconditioning this past weekend, and thought the process
might be worth mentioning in case it helps someone else.
Are you a white
board fan?
