WHITEBOARD SURFACES
General Guidelines
The manufacturing of the whiteboard recommends solvent-
based dry-erase markers, instead of water-based or “low odor”
dry eraser markets. Low-odor markers take longer to dry and
ink pigments cling more aggressively leaving behind a residue
or the appearance of ghosting. The manufacturer recommends
SPRAYWAY foaming glass cleaner (aerosol or whips), yellow
micro fiber cloths and white lint free polishing cloths.
Avoid using foam erasers to avoid pigment transformation.
Daily Care and Cleaning
1. Wipe surface with a clean Yellow micro fiber cloth.
2. If writing has remained on surface for more than 48 hours,
a Yellow micro fiber cloth moistened with warm water
can be used.
3. Wipe dry with a white lint free polishing cloth.
Weekly or as Needed Cleaning
1. Remove all papers and magnetic attachments from board.
2. Wipe complete surface with Yellow micro fiber cloth.
3. Apply SPRAYWAY foaming cleaner and work foam into
surface with fingers on ghosting areas.
4. Rinse with Yellow micro fiber cloth moistened with warm water.
5. Dry with white lint free polishing cloth.
Special Cleaning
To remove crayon, transparent tape residue and other
miscellaneous stains dampen a clean cloth with water and
sprinkle a small amount of powder cleanser on the cloth.
Begin cleaning a small area with a back and forth horizontal
motion using normal pressure as if cleaning a window.
Wipe off the residues with a dry cloth then rinse with clear water.
Wipe dry with a clean, dry cloth. Repeat if necessary.
Permanent Marker Cleaning
It is recommended not to use permanent marker on the
whiteboard. If permanent marker is accidentally applied to
whiteboard surface, moisten a clean, dry cloth with isopropyl
alcohol. Begin cleaning in a circular motion to loosen marker
residue. Dry with a clean, dry cloth. (If isopropyl alcohol is not
available try writing over the permanent ink marker with a dry
erase marker then wipe with a clean, dry cloth.) Repeat as often
as necessary to remove all residues.

CABINET HARDWARE
Door and Drawer Pulls/Handles:
Pulls/Handles can easily be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge
and a mild soap or detergent, or all purpose cleaners. Acidic or
abrasive cleaners can damage the finish; do not use them. Drain
cleaners containing lye may permanently damage the finish.
If you spill a drain cleaner, wipe it up immediately and rinse
several times with water.
Periodically check the screw fasteners and tighten if necessary.
Do not over-tighten as it may damage the door or drawer,
or crack the pull/handle itself.
Hinges:
Hinges can easily be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge and
a mild soap or detergent, or all purpose cleaners.
For heavily soiled hinges, mild abrasive cleansers, like Comet or
Ajax, can be useful for cleaning heavily soiled hinges, but take
precaution to not scratch the finish. A better alternative is to
remove the hinges from the door and soak them in a mild soap or
detergent solution, using a toothbrush to get hard to reach areas
if necessary. When reattaching the hinges to the door, a drop of
glue in the screw hole is recommended.
After time, hinges may start to squeak. These noises do not affect
the performance of the hinges but they can become a nuisance.
Periodically spray WD-40 at each joint along the pin so it soaks
into the center, being careful not to spray the laminate door finish
as it may stain.
If the doors have a European (concealed) hinge, periodic
adjustment may be required to keep the doors aligned and
working properly. A separate document is available that explains
this process. If you need this document, or require assistance,
contact Wisconsin Bench Manufacturing at
(800) 242-2303.
Drawer Slides:
Periodically clean with a soft damp cloth. Ball-bearing slides are
lubricated with grease to ensure smooth quiet operation and
long life. Avoid removal of this grease during cleaning.
