MONTHLY FAMILY PLANNER
The most secure method of mounting your Monthly Family Planner is to screw it into your wall. Chatting to your local hardware store is a great way to determine the best screw or hardware for your wall surface. If you are mounting the Family Planner to the wall using the adhesive supplied on the back of the mounts, the strength of the adhesive hold will be determined by your wall surface. We recommend using the adhesives to place your planner in the location you'd like, and further securing by screwing into the wall. Ensure that the wall you are fixing to is clean and completely dry [and if freshly painted, an adequate amount of time has passed].
Please give us a call if you have any questions at all prior to mounting your planner - we're available via phone or email from Monday to Friday, and we're always happy to help!
1. Clean the wall surface and allow to dry thoroughly.
2. Peel back the cover on the clear adhesive pieces (enclosed in your order) on the back of the 4 x round mounts.
3. Ensure the Planner is level and even, and positioned exactly where you'd like it to be.
4. Press down very firmly on each mount for 20-30, seconds to ensure it is completely affixed to the wall while you secure with screws appropriate for your wall.
5. Use screws (suitable for your surface) to further secure your Planner to the wall, ensuring the screw is supporting the front panel.
5. Remove the adhesive backing on the 4 x round bamboo covers. Press these securely onto the front of the planner, to cover the wall mounts, ensuring you line up the grain of the bamboo. Note, if you think you may need to move your planner in the future, it is a great idea to use blue-tack to pop your bamboo covers onto the planner so that you can easily get to the screws beneath in future.

PERSONALISED WEEKLY PLANNER
Your planner comes with magnets, so you can pop it straight up on the fridge!
If you’d prefer to attach your planner to the wall, many customers have found that blu-tack or removable Command 3M strips [cut to size and placed behind the bamboo header and footer] will give great hold for these light-weight pieces.
Please note, the best adhesive for your wall will depend on the particular surface. Your local hardware store is the best place to get advice.

USE AND CARE OF YOUR PLANNER
Use a regular dry-erase or whiteboard marker. (A fine or bullet-point marker works well for precise, clear writing).
You can clean the front of your board just like you would a whiteboard. A soft, microfibre cloth works well, and you can use a gentle household cleaner for anything which needs extra help, like little finger prints. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing to make sure your lovely planner doesn't get scratched.
And of course, if you have any questions at all about any of the above, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via email on hello@arloandco.com.au or calling our studio on 03 9070 8156.
HAPPY PLANNING!
