I tried several other cleaning hacks: 91% rubbing alcohol, Mr Clean Eraser, and Bar Keepers Friend. This is the only one that worked. My hat is off to you!

Thanks so much this is a life saver I dumpster dive and I found 6 of the big chalk boards that Fresh Market uses to write there specials on and I couldn’t get the writing off and this worked great . Now I can either sell them or use them if I have a yard sale or a special occasion. Awesome ( you’re the first video that popped up on KZread)

Thank you! This is what I needed before I even agreed (with myself) to buy chalk markers.

Thank you!!!! I had chalk paint on the "first day of school" board and the paint has been there for two years. The paint came off with little effort with your tips. Big hug!!!

This was SO helpful!! I always repaint it with chalk paint 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ game changer! Thank you!

Thank you!!! This worked like a charm! Up until this point I've tried everything and nothing seemed to work!

Instead of Comet, try to use baking soda. More environmentally friendly and works just as well.

When I used baking soda it started to remove the top surface. Comet worked better and was gentler believe it or not, although I like your idea of more environmentally friendly king soda.

Really helpful! I tried erasing my chalk board that was stained for 2 months! It totally worked! I tried using certain products to clean my 2 month - chalk stuck on the chalk board, it didn't work. Even tried boiled water, didn't work, I used the scrub side once it didn't ruin the chalk board but it was ripping tiny peace's off the board. So this is useful and my parents let me buy the bleach and all that so I can clean it if I want to write something new every day. So thank you 😅👍🏻

Thanks for your video! I tried the Mr. Clean magic eraser and it worked really well.

I’ve found that Wrights Copper Cream with the sponge included worked very quickly, even when the chalk marker was on the board dried a while. I used so many different things and am finally happy I found something that works.

on some boards I like to get the deep black to chalk contrast back by using a cotton square and drop of mineral oil. try on a small spare board first. If you let sit it will dry deeper black than water alone.

Omg thank you so much! I did’t have comet so I used Bon ami and it worked like a charm! Thanks!!!

Wow... I tried everything else til I found this really really works thanks for your help ❤❤❤

Can you do some handle treating? Or show us how you do your chalkboard? I love it btw it's beautiful

I love your chalk marker. May I ask what brand is it? I tried to look up your other video but I can’t find any :(

It worked! I had a command center with 2-year-old stains. They came off in seconds. Thank you!!

Used the baking soda, came off soooo easy, thanks

I use LA’S TOTALLY AWESOME all purpose concentrated cleaner and its super effective and easy (my chalk marker was on there for over 3 months and came off in about 5 minutes) the board looks brand new

I used Bar Keepers friend and worked too.

Thanks for your help, it works good!

Thanks I'll give this a try!

so did this chalkboard you cleaned get primed before you wrote on it with markers? i am doing a DIY board and walls and wonder if I can skip the priming or would still need to do that step. thanks!

Thank you for this... Definitely works!!

Have you ever used the chalk paste? Did you have to season your board first?

You did such an amazing job writing that, I would have a hard time erasing it! haha

Did you season your oars before you used it?

In regards to the surface, did you make this chalkboard with paint or chalkboard contact paper or is it bought? wonder if that makes a difference

this was awesome thank you

I used Ajax and it works well too

Works like a charm, even with months-on paint, but I do feel like it removed a bit of the black color from my chalkboard. Do you find that repeated use wears off the chalkboard paint? (Disclaimer: I'm using a plain ol' chalkboard that's a good 15-20 years old so that might be part of it ^_^)

Does this also work with chalk as well?

Thank you. Spot on!

Very helpful thanks

what material is this board and where is the best place to get custom sizes

You are my hero! Thank you.

Where’d you get the board?

What kind of paper/wood is that?

Question. I'm having my sister use chalk markers on the back of my chalk easles for my wedding. One side has decals then the other is chalk. How easy will it be to smudge? Do you know?

Thank you!!!

Hi , can you help ? I Just wanted to check if you have any idea, what will happen to chalkboard if I use a removable sticker on top of the chalkboard…. Will it remove the “chalk Paint from the base" … I know it defeats the purpose of chalk wall. I Have a big wall to paint and only looking for short-cuts to put some fillers but don't want to ruin the paint on wall either ... it was expensive paint :)

Thank you so much for this very helpful suggestion...I had no idea about Comet with bleach being an option. Can I ask...was your chalk paint previously sprayed with a fixative? I need to remove chalk paint that was sprayed with a fixative and not sure if this is also a successful option or if you have another suggestion. Please advise. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Hi! Do you know what do to, in case I want to paint a wedding sign but ON GLASS? I mean, if I use (for example) Posca or Molotow markers, do I need to seal with some thing? To keep the paint on the glass? And also, if the guys want to keep the frame, but erase the text I wrote on the glass, would it be possible? Even If I sealed it? Or that process isn't necessary?

Molotow is great for glass. chalk erases with a wipe. Other molotow pigments erase with rubbing alcohol

my chalk board is painted on my door, so i cant put the stuff on it properly... how else could i do it?

I bought a new green board but it's not erasing properly by duster only with water it is erasing plz say me any tips to get rid I am waiting...... .......

Thank you

Your nail polish is lovely!!

In my classroom I have a whole wall that has been painted as a chalkboard. Currently I use old fashioned chalk, but I also have asthma problems with dust/airborne particles. You mentioned a "manufactured chalkboard", was it purchased or did you make it? My wall wa painted with the rustoleum Chalkboard paint. What markers do you use and do you have any suggestions on cleaning a wall, since it can't lay flat?

Hi! chalkboard paint isn't nearly as easy to remove chalk paint from.. I'd probably repaint honestly.. Once you try to remove the main thick layer of the chalk marker, you'll still have a very visible stain of where the marker was written. Kind of like a residue. So repainting over that stain, is going to be the best option. Im sorry I don't have a better answer. I also use the chalk Ink Markers! Good luck! Let me know what you end up doing!

@KarliSine

Id still probably do the same process.. but any chalk marker wont come all the way off of chalk paint. It will leave a stain no matter what. So I recommend to keep using the old fashioned chalk. That way you wont have to constantly re paint your wall!

You use comet but won’t use the coarse part of the sponge hmm🤔

Would this also work on a black dry erase board to remove chalk marker that's been there for a year? Some came off easily, but some is STUCK and didn't budge with vinegar or glass cleaner.

Comet

Maybe it’s the markers I use or it’s the board I have? I got my board from Aldi, $10. The markers are Liquid Dry erase. than can be used on a chalk board or dry erase board. NOTHING removes the the marker, unless I erase RIGHT away before it’s completely dry. I’ve tried Hot water, cold water, dish soap, degreaser, vinegar/baking soda, sunscreen (spray), nail polish remover. None of it works. The sunscreen helps maybe like 20% but I have to scrub so hard but I don’t like it bc it leaves a grungy feeling, almost like grease that has been built up over time. The nail polish remover helps about 20% as well, but I notice it the chalkboard finish coming off. Whatever item I scrub with, (rag, scrub daddy, magic eraser, paper towel) it turns black. And I can’t deal with the smell from the nail polish remover. HELP!!

I'm British - what is comet? Just a household cleaner?

@SwtTrisha8

Yes - it cleans sinks, bathtubs ,etc

This should be done in a bathtub, with a spray hose. Faster, easier, and more lubrication to protect the board surface from the scrubbing. Thanks, though, for your insights.

Was your marker permanent

Bar keepers friend and hand sanitizer basically made the chalk marker fall off for me.

Try Alcohol and paper towels. No elbow grease and no scratches.

It appears to have ruined my chalkboard there's places where I don't know what that is but it's almost like wood coming through or something😮

@KarliSine

Жыл бұрын

Yes! That has happened to mine also. If the chalkboard gets a scratch down to the wood, the wood underneath will swell. You just have to watch out for scratches and Damage to your board. In the past I just colored the wood in with sharpie but eventually got a new one.

👍👌.

Magic eraser has a cleaner in it too and certain paints, like on walls, it will change the finish, like its lifting top layer off. So depending on type of chalkboard it may dull the black. Of course, not always. :) hope that helps
