    Abstract: Methods and kits including writable and cleanable articles, wherein in one embodiment, a method of replenishing a hydrophilic surface on a writable and cleanable article is provided. The method comprising: providing a writable and cleanable article that includes a hydrophilic overcoat that has an at least partially depleted (i.e., at least partially exhausted) hydrophilic surface; and applying a cleaning and protecting composition to at least a portion of the hydrophilic overcoat; and drying the cleaning and protecting composition to provide a dried surface having a replenished hydrophilic surface. The writable and cleanable article includes: a base member having a front surface; a facing layer comprising a cured polymeric matrix and a plurality of inorganic nanoparticles dispersed in the polymeric matrix, wherein the facing layer is disposed on at least a portion of the base member front surface; an optional primer layer disposed on at least a portion of the facing layer; and a hydrophilic overcoat bonded to the facing layer and/or the optional primer layer through siloxane bonds, thereby providing a hydrophilic surface that is writable and cleanable. The cleaning and protecting composition includes: a hydrophilic silane; a surfactant; and water.
