Description
A magnetic eraser is primarily designed for use with whiteboards and other magnetic writing surfaces (like magnetic glass boards or magnetic calendars).
The “magnetic” feature is a convenience for storage and accessibility, not for the erasing action itself.
🌟 Key Features and Purpose

Detail |
|---|---|
|
Primary Use |
Dry-Erase Whiteboards. Used to quickly and cleanly remove dry-erase marker ink. |
|
The Magnetic Part |
It has an integrated strong magnet (often ferrite or neodymium) embedded in the plastic casing. |
|
Storage Advantage |
The magnet allows the eraser to stick directly and securely to the magnetic whiteboard or any nearby metal surface (like a file cabinet or refrigerator). This ensures the eraser is always within easy reach and prevents it from getting lost or knocked off the tray. |
|
Erasing Surface |
The erasing surface is usually made of felt, microfiber shag, or foam, which is highly effective at lifting and trapping dry-erase ink without leaving streaks or “ghosting” residue on the board. |
|
Other Types |
Some specialized magnetic erasers are available for chalkboards or even for collecting pencil eraser dust shavings (like the Japanese Zi-Keshi eraser), but the whiteboard version is the most common. |
