When dry erase erasers become saturated with ink, they can't effectively erase.They can be helped to function like new with a few different methods.This can be done using items you already have at home.You can wash erasers with dish soap, spray them with a garden hose, or scrub them using toothpaste.Your dry erase erasers will be back in business soon no matter which method you choose.
Step 1: The pan should be filled with soapy water.
Place dish soap in a shallow pan with a quart of hot water.The pan may be stained by the ink from the erasers.
Step 2: Put the erasers in a container.
Leave the erasers in the pan of hot water for at least 20 minutes.Once the ink is removed, rinse them under the water.
Step 3: The sun is setting.
To be able to use the dry erasers, they must be completely dry.Direct sunlight for 1-2 hours is the best way to dry them out.
Step 4: There is a place where you can make a mess.
You will end up spraying water on the ground when you clean your dry erase erasers with a garden hose.Pick a spot to clean, ideally on a patch of grass.
Step 5: Use the hose to spray the erasers.
Put your dry erase erasers on the ground, spray them with your hose, and bring them outside.If you have more than one setting, use the most powerful one.The power of the hose spray will remove the ink from the eraser.Continue until the water clears.
Step 6: The sun is setting.
Put your dry erasers in the sun for 1-2 hours.Don't use the erasers until they are completely dry.Put your garden hose away.
Step 7: Put toothpaste on your erasers.
Dry erase erasers can be cleaned with a gentle, yet slightly abrasive cleanser.If you want to clean the eraser, apply a line of toothpaste to it.
Step 8: Use a wet cloth to scrub them.
In a circular motion, scrub the eraser with a wet washcloth.The toothpaste should be spread across the whole eraser.The ink on the cloth is likely to stain it.
Step 9: They need to be washed under running water and dried in the sun.
All ink and toothpaste must be removed before the water runs clear.The erasers should be set in the sun for 1-2 hours.
