Chalkboard Care Tips

1. It is best to prepare a new chalkboard before use. To do so, lay a new piece of chalk flat on its side and use it to rub over the entire surface of the chalkboard. Next, use a dry cloth to erase the residual chalk dust from the board. This will leave a residual layer of chalk dust which will act as a dry lubricant, preventing permanent etchings being made on the chalkboard's surface.

2. When erasing chalk markings, use a soft cloth to wipe the chalkboard surface to prevent scratching.

3. Use a damp cloth to clean the chalkboard surface regularly. This is especially important for people who are allergic or sensitive to dust. For a better cleaning effect, you could also try adding some vinegar into a bucket of warm water, and wet your cloth in it before cleaning the chalkboard surface.

4. Liquid chalk tends to be harder to clean off, especially if the markings have been on the chalkboard for a long period of time. A good way to clean liquid chalk marks off a chalkboard is to use an ammonia-based liquid cleaner {most glass surface cleaners contain ammonia}.
