No joke that homeschooling brings out many creative sides that one never realizes they have till they are creating a project, putting together a lesson plan or finding new uses around the home.
Top it off…sometimes we can’t replace a much needed item or just need a way to make things last for as long and as frugal as possible.
Many uses of WD-40
In this case, the dry erase board plays a huge part in conveying ideas, making a point or just scribbling but eventually we find ourselves in situations where the board we are using, isn’t holding up or erasing like we wish it would.
Out of curiousity and checking online we soon discovered that a regular household product that was just as usual for getting squeaks out of the door hinge, with a spray, gives a dry erase board, it’s original usefulness again.
So if you too, find yourself in a situation where, though you may have scrubbed the marks off, the dry erase board won’t retain it’s original abilty to wipe off as easily as the markers can mark on, clean off the board with an abrasive cleaner or SOS pad, then spray on the good ol WD-40 and it’s as good as new.

Great tip. WD-40…who knew!
I’ll file this one away for when we start homeschooling. Thanks!
Also- this would make a great link for twice-the-fun-tuesday at havingfunathomeblog.blogspot.com because its a creative new use for an old product.
Great use for this product! Who knew?
Smart thinking!

@Donna: It’s funny the many uses of WD-40 and right now with a tight budget and being a one-income family, it counts to make sure anything and everything lasts, plus it helps deal with those times when the dry erase marker seems to just “stick” there forever…..
that is one i never know! great info!
@amydeanne: As my husband would say, leave it to me to find a way to keep frugal and practical. LOL.
I actually have another tip (notice right now a lot is centering around dry erase boards) that I’ll share later…Lol. Funny thing was that little things like that help win my mil over about us homeschooling and answer her…”but…what…how” questions…
What’s funny is that the neighbors have already recieve the “local homeschool” tour because they all wanted to see what a “real homeschool” look like and went…”oh…uhm…” until I whipped out the display boards and dry erase boards to show them what a “normal” day was like…Oh wait…do I hear a new post coming from this?? LOL
Hmmm…maybe I should have sold tickets? Donations goes to books and more books? LOL
