All bacteria are microbes, however not all microbes are bacteria.
Antimicrobials can refer to agents that deal with fungi and other microbes as well as bacteria. Antibacterial agents will only deal with bacteria. They are both different from antiviral agents.
Antiviral is specifically for things such as COVID-19, which are a different type of cell. The main difference being that the viruses tend to have a fatty surround, so in order to kill viruses you often have a two-part process where you basically have to get through the fatty part to get to the virus itself.

To ensure a perfect whiteboard finish, please:
Preparation - fill the surface where needed with decorators filler then sand the surface smooth and remove any sanding dust. Apply two coats of Smart White Primer. Allow this to dry overnight before the antimicrobial whiteboard paint is applied.
Be sure to use a different roller for both the primer and the Smart Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint. If you choose to use the same roller, the water involved in washing the roller will have damaging effects on the antimicrobial whiteboard paint.
Only paint the specified coverage area as clearly labeled on the tin. Stretching the paint will affect the whiteboard performance.
Note this is a one coat specialist coating. To ensure optimum results we recommend rolling over the surface multiple times with the roller to ensure the paint has covered well and there are no missed spots. After a section stop and inspect visually to ensure no missed spots.
Our award-winning Smart Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint comes with a ten-year performance guarantee.

Smart Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint has not been tested for slip resistance and as with any painted finish it could wear according to the traffic on it. Our performance guarantee is as a dry erase paint and does not extend beyond that.
Smart Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint is an ideal whiteboard repair product for most surfaces. Smart Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint can be applied directly onto existing whiteboards after applying Smart White Primer (please note a primer is necessary before antimicrobial whiteboard paint application), just ensure all marker residue has been removed. For blackboards, we recommend you wipe the surface down with a damp cloth to remove any old chalk. Next, coat the blackboard with Smart White Primer. To complete, apply Smart Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint.
A primer helps give a surface a smooth finish. Secondly, they act to ‘seal’ a surface. This means that when you apply Smart Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint on a surface that has been primed, the properties within our antimicrobial whiteboard paint will stay on the wall rather than being absorbed into the wall. In summary, using a primer or sealer means you will get a smoother surface with optimum write-on-wipe-off functionality.
A normal fan heater can be used to speed up the drying process. An infrared lamp can also be used but it can’t be placed too close to the surface.
In most cases, yes, you can paint over antimicrobial whiteboard paint. However, it's important to ensure proper adhesion and compatibility between the existing antimicrobial whiteboard paint and the new paint.

No, like any regular whiteboard, Smart Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint is not compatible with permanent markers. If permanent markers are used on Smart Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint, we advise using our Permanent Ink Remover to remove.
It may be possible to remove a permanent marker by writing over it with a whiteboard marker. This will ‘wet’ the ink again, thus making it easier to remove. Wait two minutes, then wipe off. If this fails to work, use Permanent Ink Remover available from our web store. This is a specialised cleaner designed to remove permanent marker, stubborn stains and ghosting from whiteboards and antimicrobial whiteboard painted surfaces.
To remove stains from a whiteboard, first, try using a dry erase eraser or a soft cloth with a whiteboard cleaner. If the stain persists, use Smarter Surfaces Permanent Ink Remover on troublesome areas of your surface. This is an extremely high performing product which is not suitable for daily cleaning.
