Natasha’s go‑to method is to write over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker and immediately wipe it off. Here is why it outperforms many other techniques:

  1. It is fast: no soaking, no scrubbing, and usually works in one or two passes
  2. It is low risk: unlike alcohol, acetone, or abrasive cleaners, it is less likely to damage or dull the dry erase surface
  3. It is convenient: if you own a whiteboard, you almost always have a dry erase marker nearby
  4. It is kid‑safe and classroom‑friendly: no harsh fumes or strong chemicals
