Permanent markers can destroy your white board! Until Now!Written by F. Glen Ferguson
How would you like to clean up those permanent markers instantly? And, you already have what’s needed.After years of running a training department. I know problems that trainers face every day. This really isn’t a secret because I was so amazed by it, I tell everyone I see. I’m very happy to be able to share it with you. Not long ago, company I worked for, hired a consultant to give a training class. After class consultant and I were talking about presenting training and problems that happen. Holding a black permanent marker, I explained that one thing that really bothered me was having someone use a permanent marker on my white board. With that, I showed him marker and proceeded to draw big cross marks on white board. You can imagine look I received. The consultant was sure that I had lost my mind and said, “what are you doing, you just destroyed your white board!” In past I would have thought same thing. In past to remove permanent markers I’ve used liquids and creams, and it always took a lot of effort and sometimes left a shadow.
