Cleaning the SMART Board

SMART Boards should not be used with regular white board pens at all. If one is inadvertently used, use the white board cleaner Expo to remove the marks.

Spray the cleaner on a clean soft cloth (never spray the board directly) and use the Expo eraser to clean.

If your board should become dirty, please use the Expo white board cleaner or Windex to clean your board.

Spray the cleaner on a clean, soft cloth (never spray the board directly) and use to gently clean the board.

Repeated use of Expo will leave a film on the board that will interfere with its functionality.
