With this, has come a “ pain in the rear ,” process, of trying to figure out how to remove chalk marker from a chalkboard.
I am, in by NO means, saying that this will work for you. I am not responsible for anything that happens to your chalkboard.
After trying soap and water, Clorox wipes, all-purpose cleaner, vinegar, a magic eraser …and let the list go on… I couldn’t find anything that would work.
After your chalkboard is fully dry, take a piece of chalk and use the side (not the tip) to rub the entire surface with horizontal strokes. Make sure the board is completely covered. Rub the entire chalkboard surface with the chalk again, this time using vertical strokes. Wipe the board clean with a dry sponge or microfiber cloth.
Now your artistic canvas looks clean and inviting, but you need to prevent the chalkboard from ghosting. Ghosting is a potential aftereffect of cleaning away chalk stains, caused by tiny bits of ink residue.
To get rid of those, use a piece of chalk to prime over the surface of the chalkboard. Then, wait a couple of minutes, and spray the Windex once again all across the surface. Start wiping one last time, and after you finish, you’ll notice there will be nothing but a spotless chalkboard surface.
To do it, get a damp cloth. Make sure it is clean, and try wiping the marker off. If you consider it necessary, soak it with water for about 3 minutes previous to the wiping. More often than not, it doesn’t take more than this wiping to get the marker off.
The Magic Eraser is a product that you could do well in having it available around the house, whether or not you have a chalkboard. It works for everything, and the results are incredible.
Something that you need to know is that porous surfaces aren’t only chalkboards, but also other materials such as whiteboard, glass or metal.
But it works for more purposes than cooking. Use it to polish, clean, or remove marker, among other things.
What you want to do in those circumstances is to repeat the same process that you did before, only this time, you’ll be using vinegar instead of water. By replacing the water with a little amount of vinegar, the process is easier. A side benefit would be that the chalkboard gets disinfected, too.
