WHAT WE'RE MAKING? Teacher Gift: Expo Markers & White Board Cleaner - NORWEX ENVIRO CLOTH ONLY

I had an online Norwex party with my friend Christy and I knew I wanted to have an extra Enviro Cloth for my son's teacher because they clean white boards with water only. Just damp the cloth, ring out and wipe the white board. NO CHEMICALS! This even works with those fake white boards and caked on, old, dried dry erase marker and removes those streaks that most chemicals leave behind. Just hang to dry. Yep, that's it. No streaks. No chemicals. Just wipe and write.
