Benefits of Dry Erase
Dry Erase Benefits
As dry erase boards (AKA WhiteBoards) become more prevalent in our schools and offices we see their many benefits.
1st – No more chalk dust!
Chalk dust is a known respiratory irritant and in some cases can trigger asthma attacks. Chalk dust also gets into expensive electronic equipment and causes problems – it can even cause shorts.
Another benefit is that writing n dry erase boards is so much easier to read – from any seat in the classroom. No more eyestrain from messy chalkboards.
Multiple, brightly colored markers are available for dry erase boards which allow a teacher to use color to group items or indicate relationships. Although colored chalk is available – it isn’t nearly as readable as dry erase.
Whiteboard surfaces also do double duty as excellent projection screen. They provide a crisp white surface for showing images or video.
Another double duty is using them as a magnetic board. Many whiteboards have a metal backing or Dry Erase For Less can custom make one for you. You can now post important messages, flyers and other signs using just a simple marker. No more need to spend extra money on a special bulletin board – even if each bulletin board is inexpensive – consider the cost when you add up one for every classroom. Using magnets on your existing whiteboard adds up to a large savings.
Dry erase boards are easy to clean. Especially when using our non-toxic Eco-white Plus cleaner! And if your board becomes too marked up – use our dry erase film to resurface your existing board for pennies on the dollar cost of replacement. You can even resurface chalkboards and nearly any clean, dry, flat surface.

While I was walking down the hall of my son’s school for parent-teacher conferences, I noticed something that has changed since I went to school. We used nothing but chalkboards, but now whiteboards are the only thing I see in classrooms. I didn’t realize that chalk dust is a respiratory irritant and can cause asthma attacks. I can see now why they made that change.
