Brad,

 

I completely agree with Craig. No need to use chemicals to clean the board.

 

I use this abrasive block:-

Although I use a laminator, your clothes iron should do the job OK.

I use magazine paper – travel brochures work consistently well for me – and they are free!

 

Some examples...

After laminating machine I drop the boards in a dish of water and let the paper turn to mush and gently stroking my thumb over it the paper just falls off leaving the toner behind.

 

Kind regards
