I have a whiteboard wall and it's now looking dull. Is there a way to restore to its original condition?

2How is the wall / board built? Just white paint on the wall? A painted sheet of metal, attached to the wall? A plastic sheet covering a sheet of metal, attached to the wall? Other?– virolinoFeb 18, 2020 at 11:30

Hi Matthew, Welcome to Lifehacks. If you make a mark with a fresh marker and after a few minutes erasing it leaves a "shadow" of the mark, the smooth finish is gone and reapplication of the Whiteboard finish paint is recommended.– StanFeb 19, 2020 at 1:37

Dab a little 90% alcohol (the type you would use to disinfect stuff) on a paper towel, and wipe away. Most whiteboard pen ink is soluble is alcohol so this usually gets rid of mot stains.
Your question can be interpreted a few ways:
- Dirty board
- The board could be scratched up
So for 1. You’re going to need: One of the following:
- Acetone
- Isopropyl alcohol
- White board cleaner from the manufacturer
And a clean cloth preferably white in color.
Then you’re going to place the compound in a spray bottle and spray the board. Give it 3 or 5 secs and wipe off.
if it isn’t exactly to your liking repeat previous step.
Now if it’s the second part either get a new board or paint over it.

You should add that comment and maybe reorder the points 'safest' before risky to improve your answer.– StanJun 15, 2020 at 1:56
