A whiteboard can quickly lose its appeal if the accessories aren't up to scratch. In the office, the classroom and at home, the same problems keep cropping up: a surface that's too small, markers that leave ghosting, and an eraser that smears the ink instead of removing it.
So before you buy any whiteboard supplies, it's worth checking a few practical features. A well-rounded set should include a suitable surface, a compatible whiteboard marker and an eraser for whiteboard that's easy to maintain.
A whiteboard might look practical in a photo, but it's the dimensions that really determine how comfortable it is to use. A 450 × 600 mm format works well for a personal desk, a bedroom or a small workspace. In a meeting room or classroom, a larger surface is generally easier to read from a distance.
Also think about the fixing system, the space available around the board, and whether you can write without being hindered by a frame that's too thick.
Not all pens are suitable for every surface. A standard whiteboard marker is designed for use on a non-porous, dry surface. Conversely, a flipchart marker, a permanent marker or a chalkboard pen can leave marks that are difficult to remove.
Colour alone isn't enough to make your choice: check the compatibility stated on the product page and never use a permanent marker on a standard whiteboard.
An eraser that's saturated with ink leaves grey streaks and gradually makes the board harder to read. Models with a felt surface need to be tapped out or cleaned regularly, following the manufacturer's instructions. Also avoid abrasive products, which can damage the surface.
For a whiteboard for office and school, compare the usable width, height and the distance from which you'll need to read it. A 450 × 600 mm planning board is ideal for daily tasks, lists and reminders. A 24 × 18 inch format offers a different surface area: check the exact dimensions on the product page before ordering.
The surface should be smooth, non-porous and compatible with dry-erase writing. If the board is used frequently, also plan a spot for the markers and eraser.
An eraser for whiteboard with an ABS plastic handle and a felt surface can be more comfortable to use than a simple flat pad. Dimensions also affect comfort: a compact eraser slips easily into a drawer, while a longer model covers a larger area with each pass.
For markers, look at the tip width, the type of ink and the erasing method. The STABILO MARKdry, for example, is a pencil-style marker that you sharpen, and according to its product page it's solvent-free and odourless. It wipes off with a dry or damp cloth on compatible surfaces.
Store markers horizontally, or as recommended by the manufacturer, and replace the cap after each use. Clean the board with a soft, dry cloth, then give it a deeper clean if any residue remains.
Keep small accessories out of the reach of children under 3 years old. Do not use a damp eraser on a surface that isn't designed for it, and do not mix dry-erase markers, permanent markers and paper pens.
Why this choice suits this profile: With its 450 × 600 mm dimensions, this board fits easily on a desk, in a bedroom or in a cramped study space. It can be used to organise tasks, appointments and quick notes.
Its dimensions are clearly stated, which reduces the risk of receiving a surface that's either too bulky or too small for your intended use.

A set of four colours, a solvent-free composition and erasing with a dry or damp cloth on compatible surfaces.
A board alone isn't always enough. At a minimum, plan for:
For school or professional use, separate accessories by function. Dry-erase pens are designed for the board, while STABILO BOSS ORIGINAL Pastel highlighters are mainly for documents, notes and diaries. This distinction limits misuse and prevents permanent marks.
We've put together a comprehensive, real-time list of products that meet these demanding selection criteria and comply with European safety regulations.
Start by cleaning the surface with a non-abrasive product, then dry it completely. Apply the film gradually, avoiding creases and air bubbles. Check beforehand that the surface is smooth, clean and compatible with a removable adhesive.
Its lifespan depends on how often it's used, storage conditions and how long the cap is left off. Replace the cap after each use and replace the marker when it fades or starts to leave marks. With a sharpenable model like the STABILO MARKdry, simply renew the tip when it becomes worn.
Start by using a clean, dry eraser. If residue remains visible, use a slightly damp soft cloth, then dry the surface. Do not use a scraper or abrasive sponge, and never use a permanent marker on a standard whiteboard.
