Cleaning your interactive whiteboard

With proper care, your interactive whiteboard will provide years of trouble-free service. Follow these tips to keep your interactive whiteboard clean.

  • To clean dust, dirt and finger grease, wipe the writing surface with a damp cloth or sponge. Use mild soap, if required.

  • Don’t spray cleaner directly onto the interactive surface. Instead, spray a light amount of cleaner on a cloth and then gently wipe the interactive surface.

  • Don’t allow excess cleaner to flow onto the frame’s reflective surfaces.

  • Don’t touch the digital cameras located in the top corners of the frame. Don’t attempt to clean the digital cameras without specific instructions from SMART Technologies.

  • If ink is accidentally used on your interactive whiteboard, remove the ink as soon as possible. Ink becomes more difficult to remove the longer it stays on the display surface.

Caution 

Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your interactive whiteboard.

Important 

  • Before you clean your interactive whiteboard, disconnect its USB cable.

  • To view dirt or streaks more easily, set your projector to standby (lamp off) mode.
