The most useful whiteboard accessories are dry-erase markers, an eraser, whiteboard cleaner and a microfibre cloth. If your board is magnetic, you may also want magnets, magnetic marker holders, document clips or magnetic strips. For classrooms and meeting rooms, a starter kit can be an easy way to keep all essential accessories together.
Yes, some whiteboard markers are designed to be refillable using replacement ink, which can reduce waste and ongoing costs. However, not every marker is refillable, so check the manufacturer's specifications before purchasing refill ink. Refillable markers can be particularly economical for schools, offices and other high-use environments.
For everyday cleaning, wipe the board with a clean whiteboard eraser or soft microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, use a purpose-made whiteboard cleaning solution and wipe the surface dry afterwards. Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough cloths, as these may damage the writing surface and contribute to staining or ghosting.
A frequently used whiteboard should ideally be erased after each session and thoroughly cleaned regularly, such as weekly in busy classrooms or workplaces. Removing writing promptly helps prevent ink residue and ghosting from building up. Boards used less frequently can be cleaned as required, particularly before writing is left on the surface for extended periods.
Magnets can potentially scratch a whiteboard or glassboard if they have rough, damaged or exposed metal surfaces. Accessories with smooth plastic coatings or protective backing are preferable, especially on glassboards. When moving magnets, lift and reposition them rather than dragging them across the surface to minimise the risk of scratching.
