The removal of accumulated marker residue from whiteboard cleaning tools is essential for maintaining optimal performance. A saturated or clogged cleaning tool will smear marker ink rather than effectively erase it, diminishing the whiteboard’s readability and increasing the likelihood of ghosting. Regularly addressing this issue ensures the whiteboard remains clean and usable.
Maintaining clean erasing tools contributes to extending the lifespan of both the whiteboard and the erasers themselves. Furthermore, efficient erasure reduces the need for harsh cleaning chemicals, promoting a more environmentally conscious approach to whiteboard maintenance. Historically, methods have ranged from simple tapping to more complex washing procedures.
