We’ve all been there, you have a bunch of dirty mini whiteboards. They are filthy and ‘stained’. Your cheap erasers are falling apart. You think ‘can I use a paper towel on a whiteboard?’ In short, you can, but we wouldn’t advise it!
Let’s explore this topic further…
Paper towels are absorbent and readily available, making them a convenient option for quick clean-ups. Every classroom has blue paper towels on hand, some would say they can fix anything! If you have a whiteboard that is suffering from ghosting, it is certainly tempting to grab some paper towels and scrub. Whilst you can do this, there are better solutions. There is a big difference between ‘can’ and ‘should.’
Using a paper towel every now and again won’t damage your whiteboard. It simply isn’t the best long-term solution.
