This may get Messy! Perhaps do it outside. First thing to do is cover the entire chalkboard surface with chalk; rubbing the side of the chalk and in all directions… left to right, top to bottom and criss cross.
Now that everything is all chalked up, grab a soft microfiber cloth then rub the chalk into the surface in circular motion. After this is done, wipe clean with the cloth until the chalk is all off .
Step #3 – Have fun!
Now that the surface is primed you are free to unleash your carrotivity!
To cut down on dust when erasing, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth, and be sure the board is dry before drawing again.
What type of chalk to use?
We recommend using Crayola Dustless Chalk.
The safest color of chalk to use is WHITE. With the colored chalk on our chalkboards, there runs a risk of “ghosting” when you rub the chalk off. This is due to the chalk pigment getting caught in the pours of the chalk paint. The more colorful the pigment, the more “ghosting” will occur.
Chalk Ink Markers should only be used on our steel chalkboards. DO NOT use on regular, non-magnetic chalkboards, for they will not erase.
The best way to clean-up the chalk board is to use a micro-fiber cloth; this is much better then the chalk erasers of old.
A great tip to help with the dust is to slightly dampen the cloth. This not only will clean the chalkboard better, but also prevent dust from floating around, providing you a more dust-free environment.
NOTE: Be sure that the chalkboard is dry before you chalk it up again.
Chalk-Ink Markers; just wiping off with water usually works, but if there is still “ghosting”, try using Windex or try a”magic eraser”. Remember to only use chalk ink markers on our Steel Chalkboards.
