I first tried:
Eraser - NOPE (haha)
Dry erase board cleaner - NOPE
Dry erase marker to color over the writing & erase - Made it worse (see the brown in the right bottom corner)
Time to search the internet! Oh gosh, so many suggestions and EVERY post said, "IT WORKS!"
I decided to try out several suggestions so I could have at least one thing I knew worked.
I took the board off the wall since I wasn't sure how time was needed for everything to work. Some people said 10-20 mins or longer.
Things I tried:
Hand Sanitizer
Hair Spray
Alcohol (only had 91%)
Peroxide
Pam
Toothpaste
Other things I've heard works but didn't try:
Febreeze
Let sit for 20 minutes
WHAT DIDN'T WORK
Peroxide
Pam
Hair Spray
WHAT WORKED
Alcohol
Toothpaste
Hand sanitizer (which is 70% alcohol)
Results
1. Alcohol (91%) - This worked the best by far, without waiting and erased completely clean. It's only 91% alcohol so I'm sure 99% would be even better.
2. Toothpaste - Worked amazingly but ONLY where I waited for 20 mins. Plus, it was kind of messy but it worked so well I would be willing to cover the board and wait.
3. Hand Sanitizer - This worked great as well being 70% alcohol, but didn't get the really old writing off. It cleaned super easy but still left residue.
I ended up using 91% alcohol
WOW!!!! It came off so easy and I didn't think this board would look this good again. Plus I can clean it easily while still on the wall. I started writing on it before taking a picture of it completely clean.
