How to Revive Dried Out Dry Erase Markers ~ Your whiteboard markers may still have more life in them!!
Tip #1
Dip the tip of the marker into in a little rubbing alcohol. If color is drawn down into the alcohol, there's life in your marker, and you can write with it more, now that you have treated it. If this does not work, then the marker is probably out of lasting power.
Tip #2
Just use a pair of pliers to remove the tip and turn it around. You are good for another round of use. You can even turn the tip back around later and the old dried out tip may be good once again.
Tip #3
Use plain old gravity to bring the ink to the tip bu turning the marker onto it's lid in a cup or something similar. After a couple of days you can check if the ink has flowed down to the tip.
Tip #4
Tie a string around the marker and swing it around to encourage the ink to flow down to the tip.
A good way to think when living a frugal lifestyle is there's more life or use out of the things that seem to be empty or finished! Explore how you can get more!
