Are we supposed to write on the Acrylic or on the Insert itself? Do I have to change the insert for every patient?
-
Chameleon Corporation specifically designed the Chameleon Whiteboard with a Dry Erase Plexiglass and Interchangeable Inserts to:
-
Our purposeful construction allows clients to write on the Plexiglass (not on the Insert) as the Plexiglass erases perfectly clean and does not stain, shadow, or ghost.
-
The Inserts do not need to be changed for every new patient. Our Interchangeable Inserts are only swapped or replaced when there is a communication need change such as an alternate language, alternate content or any other reason calling for a change in the pre-printed insert content.
Why Plexiglass and Graphic Inserts; couldn’t you use glass, plastic as well as cardboard or paper inserts?
-
We could use less than premium components but have chosen not to for the following reasons:
-
Plexiglass is the most durable of glass and plastic and is less susceptible to breaking, shattering or other damage.
-
Plexiglass will last for 10 to 20 years where plastic will need to be replaced every 1 to 2 years.
-
Chameleon inserts are durable, will not fade or discolor over time and most importantly can be cleaned if exposed to infectious disease or other elements requiring cleaning.

How Should We Clean Our Chameleon Whiteboards? Can we write on the Plexiglass with Permanent Markers? What happens if someone does?
-

-
​
-
Wipe with a soft, clean lint free cloth or non-abrasive disinfected wipes.
-
Dry Eraser.
-
Clean Water with a non-abrasive wipe.
-
*If using spray do not directly spray on the plexiglass or framing. If needed spray the cloth and then use the cloth to clean cover and frame.
-
You can write on the Chameleon Whiteboards with a Permanent Marker, but it is not recommended as a best practice? To remove permanent marker from the Chameleon Dry Erase Acrylic:
-
Use a Clorox Wipe to remove the permanent marker or
-
Removal of permanent marker is recommended by tracing over the permanent ink with a dry erase marker and then erasing as normal. This may take several attempts to completely erase.
