The article actually says not to use Windex, it strips the surface. I'm wondering if Expo whiteboard cleaner has the same effect. We use Windex so I'm guessing that for us at least, it probably has something to do with the ghosting getting progressively worse.

I really like what you've done with your setup, that black moulding looks really sharp.

I had a similar setup at a small company a few years ago. We first "primed" the surface by intense scrubbing with that Expo cleaning. This made it easier to wipe later on.

We also used Tabasco sauce for tough marker residue.

It's worth experimenting with different brands of markers and different colors to see what ends up easier to clean if left around for any length of time. If you really want something lasting, take a picture.

(I have a laptop-sized whiteboard I use like that: sketch out stuff, if it looks good, snap a picture to save it.)

Tabasco for cleaning? Sounds like someone accidentally got their hot wing fingers on the board and discovered it cleaned it nicely.

I completely agree with the markers. Finding the "good" ones made a big difference for me.

I've used Windex for over a year now. For me, there is no difference between the center of the board (lots of windex) and the very edge of the board (no windex).
