Well, it rings true again.  We lab directors all do encounter the same
problems.  We have the same problem with our classroom whiteboards, but I
was hesitant to put such a picky problem on LLTI.  Thanks Daniel for the
posting.  I'll be glad to hear of any solutions - my staff even moreso!
Cleaning the (many) whiteboards is part of their closing duties.  Not only
is this time consuming, but as you say the cleaning fluid is expensive.  I
need gallon jugs of it, not that tiny squirt bottle.

The only information I can add is Mr. Clean-type cleansers don't work -
they seem to build up on the board & make everything sticky.
