WHITEBOARD
Reasons why the written can’t be removed can be one of the following :
- The eraser is dirty or fat.
- The tip of the stylus is dirty or fat.
- Other pens than whiteboard pens have been used.
- Soap or other soap solution has been used when cleaning.
- The written text is dehydrated with your hand. (A human hand leaves fat that lays like a film on the board, pencils and eraser).
