Frequently Asked Questions - 1THRIVE Wall Organizers

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

General

What makes 1THRIVE unique?

1THRIVE is a unique lifestyle brand founded by a passionate and diverse group of individuals. We are planners, parents, bullet journalists, goal setters, and just like you, we were looking for a solution to the chaotic world our busy lives can create. 1THRIVE was born from looking at what is out there and wanting to create something not only beautiful, but something that would change the face of wall organization – and give back the greatest gift to families and individuals a like: the gift of time.

1THRIVE Command Centers offer a streamlined footprint and a simple one-wall mount frame that saves valuable space & time in your home. The systems come in two sizes, wide and long, because we know each space is different.

Our Designed For You pre-designed command centers offer multiple preset configurations, and each included component modular so you can further customize your setup. You are the master of your organization with the ability to determine the placement of your white and black 1WRITE boards, cork, file holders, mail storage, hooks and cups. We also offer a Designed By You experience, which allows you to select your ideal configuration row by row for a wide or long system.

And, just like each 1THRIVE Command Center has its own personality, we know you do too, we also offer an array of décor items in both our Gallery Wall Décor and Accessories Shop so you can truly personalize and bring your 1THRIVE to life with magnets, affirmation cards and other décor pieces to complement your space and lifestyle.

What is 1WRITE?

1WRITE is not your mother’s dry erase or your teacher’s chalkboard. Our unique 1WRITE boards offer a premium matte, magnetic finish and are “wet erase,” which means they’re designed to be used with the included in-house tested 1WRITE “1-For-All” Sky Duo Liquid Chalk Markers. Our markers can be used on both the white & black 1WRITE boards, in addition to the header of your base – one marker for all surfaces! Except your cork, of course. We have over fifteen colors in our marker palette to choose from.

Installation

How do I install my 1THRIVE command center?

Phase 1: Connect Your Frame

  1. Remove both the upper and lower magnetic frames from your shipping box.
  2. Locate the included black metal screws (2) and Allen wrench (shaped like an ‘L’) inside your shipping box.
  3. Locate the pre-drilled holes at the ends of your upper and lower magnetic frames. PRO TIP: The lower frame will have a “male” end. The upper frame will have a “female” end that fits onto the lower frame.



  4. Resting your lower frame on a flat surface, line up the ends of your frames and slide the upper frame onto the lower frame until the ends are flush against one other.



  5. Place a screw in each of the pre-drilled holes near the middle of your frames.
  6. Insert the Allen wrench into the screw head and turn clockwise a few times until the screw is secured snugly into your frame. Do the same for the other side.



 

Phase 2: Install Your Frame

  1. Locate the included silver screws (2) and white wall anchors (2) inside your shipping box.
  2. With a screwdriver and level, screw two holes that line up with the pre-drilled holes in your upper frame near the header.
  3. Hook your frame onto the two screws.

Cleaning & Care Instructions

How do I clean my white and black 1WRITE boards?

To clean your white and black 1WRITE boards, we first recommend thoroughly wetting a paper towel and wiping in a circular motion across the entire surface where you’d like to erase your writing. The ink from your 1WRITE liquid chalk markers will smear, but not to worry, this is a part or the process. You may do a second or third swipe with a wetted paper towel to ensure all of your ink is wetted and ready to be wiped away.

Once your boards are wetted and the ink smeared, take a microfiber towel and completely wipe away the smeared ink and dry your wetted 1WRITE boards.

We recommend waiting approximately five minutes to ensure your 1WRITE surfaces dry completely before writing on them in order to avoid the ink running.

PRO TIP: if you’re doing your “monthly reset” or Sunday setup, you may use baby wipes or Windex to thoroughly remove any remaining ink from your 1WRITE boards.

How do I use my 1WRITE “1-For-All” Liquid Chalk Markers?

To “prime,” or use your 1WRITE markers for the first time, watch this video for a step by step process to ensure your markers are ready for use.

When using your 1WRITE markers after they have been out of use for a few days or weeks, we recommend priming them in the same way demonstrated by the video, by tap-tap-tapping them on a dry paper towel to wet the tip of your marker.

PRO TIP: Flip the tip of your marker from “bullet” to “chisel” to give your writing some extra flare.

Where can I buy more 1WRITE “1-For-All" Liquid Chalk Markers?

We offer an array of different 1WRITE marker colors, all of which may be viewed here in our Accessories Shop. 

Can I use other liquid chalk markers on my white and black 1WRITE boards?

The only “wet erase” markers we recommend are our 1WRITE “1-For-All" Liquid Chalk Markers.

Please refrain from using dry erase markers, traditional chalk, permanent ink, pencil or any other form of writing utensil.

We spend a significant amount of time testing all of our 1WRITE markers before offering them to our customers. To that end, we only recommend the markers offered on our website, as they underwent several weeks of in-house testing by our team at HQ.

Can I use chalk on my black 1WRITE boards?

No. Your black 1WRITE board surfaces are specifically designed with a matte finish to be used with our 1WRITE “1-For-All" Liquid Chalk Markers. They are not made to be used with chalk.

Please note that using chalk on your black 1WRITE boards may permanently mar their surfaces and damage them.

If you have any further questions regarding your 1WRITE boards, please reach out to our team at hello@1THRIVE.com.

Can I use dry erase markers on my white and black 1WRITE boards?

No. Your white and black 1WRITE board surfaces are specifically designed with a matte finish to be used with our 1WRITE “1-For-All" Liquid Chalk Markers. They are not made to be used with dry erase markers.

Please note that using dry erase markers on your white and black 1WRITE boards may permanently mark their surfaces and damage them.

If you have any further questions regarding your 1WRITE boards, please reach out to our team at hello@1THRIVE.com.

Which surfaces on my 1THRIVE command center can I write on?

  • Your black magnetic base header

  • Mirrors

Which surfaces are magnetized?

If only we could magnetize everything! The frame, top of frame, blackboards, file folders, small envelope holder, and the buckets are all magnetized.
