A campus board, whether in a classroom or meeting space, can get pretty cluttered over time. With notes, reminders, and scribbles covering the surface, it can become hard to focus on the new ideas you need to write. But with a simple clean-up, you can bring your board back to life and keep it ready for whatever comes next.

The first step is to clear off any old marks. Grab a whiteboard cleaner or rubbing alcohol to wipe off the old ink, dust, and grime. For those pesky ghost marks (the faint traces that never seem to go away), use a magic eraser or a baking soda-water mixture. These tools help remove any lingering marks and restore the board to a clean slate.

Once the board is clean, take a closer look at any scratches or damage. If there are deep scuffs, you can use a whiteboard resurfacing sheet. These are peel-and-stick and cover up imperfections, giving you a smooth surface to work with again. Just measure, cut, and apply, smoothing out any bubbles.

Keeping the board in top condition is key. After use, just wipe it down regularly to keep it looking fresh. An erase board on campus doesn’t have to be a chore—it’s an essential tool that can be easily maintained to keep your lessons, projects, or meetings on track. A little TLC is all it takes to keep your board ready for anything!
