    The Best Magnetic Whiteboards: Buying Guide

    Erasing Marks On Your Magnetic Whiteboard

    Depending on the type and quality of whiteboard, dry erase marks vary in how easy they are to erase. If you get a cheaper whiteboard that is coated with melamine, it can sometimes be a bit harder to erase. Its counterpart and more expensive option is porcelain. It will cost you more money but will last longer and be much easier to erase. 

    Long Lasting Quality

    If you are looking for a whiteboard that you are going to use almost every day, you should probably opt for a high quality one that is generally made of porcelain. These won’t scratch, dent, or leave ghost marks nearly as much as their melamine counterparts. They also generally come in larger sizes. Generally speaking, these run you three to four times more than a basic whiteboard with melamine coating. Thus, we recommend a simple cost-benefit analysis based on how much you are going to use your whiteboard. It might be that a cheaper option works best for you based on how much you use it and if you are willing to just replace it after a few years. 

    Best Magnetic Whiteboards

    Not all whiteboards are magnetic, but it’s a really nice feature to have in your whiteboard that you will probably find yourself using more than you think. If you want a larger whiteboard, there are accessories that will stick to the board via a magnet that will hold an eraser and dry erase markers. Or you can also use magnets on it just like you would for a fridge or something. Long story short – it’s very cheap to opt for a magnetic whiteboard so you might as well go for it!

    Whiteboard Calendars

    When buying a whiteboard, you may also want to consider getting a whiteboard calendar. These are quite handy, especially when living with family or roommates. Many of them are magnetic as well.

    Whiteboard Paint

    An alternative to buying a whiteboard is to paint an entire wall or section of a wall in whiteboard paint! This can be a fun DIY project and is also great if you have kids who can now draw on a wall at will. If you go this route, be sure to get the specific markers that go with this type of paint, as they are not your average dry-erase markers for whiteboards. 

    How To Use Your Magnetic Whiteboard

    There are a number of ways to maximize your whiteboard use and get the most out of it. Let’s explore a few ideas!

    1. If you share your whiteboard with others and don’t want something erased, write “SAVE” in big letters right by it to let others know. 
    2. When you don’t need something anymore, erase it right away – this will prevent ghost marks and keep your whiteboard looking cleaner.
    3. Use different color markers to signify and differentiate items. Color coding is a great way to separate ideas from each other and show a visual representation.
    4. If you have a lot of different things on your whiteboard, draw lines on the board to segment your thoughts.
    5. For todo lists, try this idea: Create three columns: “To Do,” Doing,” and “Done.” Then use post-it notes to represent each task, and move them into the different columns as you are knocking off items from your to-do list. It feels great to move a post-it note to the “Done” column and feel proud of all the items you’ve completed. On a regular basis that’s up to your choosing (daily, weekly, etc). Remove all the “Done” items and add more “To Do” items.

    How To Clean And Maintain Your Whiteboard

    For best results, you should clean your whiteboard with a cleaner and rag every one to two weeks. It’s also important to not let certain marks stay on it for too long, as they dry erase ink can get tougher to clean when it stays on the board for months at a time. 

    If you have a pesky mark that is leaving a ghost mark, you can take a dry erase marker and cover the mark with more ink marks all around it. Then erase the whole thing with your eraser and it should help clear the mark. 

    Conclusion

    Whiteboards come in all different sizes and are becoming more and more popular in places outside of the classroom. They are now quite prevalent in office buildings, home kitchens, and offices. They are an excellent communication and visualization tool and are here to stay. We recommend thinking about the size, magnet, material (melamine vs porcelain), and price when you make your purchase – good luck!
