Preparing
a Chalkboard for Use
New
boards and washed boards should be "chalked in"
with the side of a piece of chalk. All chalkboards usually
produce "ghost" marks unless completely chalked
in. When the chalkboard has been whitened, wipe the board
with a cloth or with a felt eraser. Chalkboards in a "ready
to use" condition should be gray. Do not use water
or chalkboard solutions on the board. Chalkboards have a
porous surface, and when mixed with water, the binding agent
in chalk creates a paste, which clogs the pores and creates
a buildup. Liquids can also have a pitting effect on chalkboards.

Dry-Cleaning
Chalkboards
-
Erase
markings from the board with a cloth or felt eraser.
-
Prepare
to work with the KLEENER in one hand and a cloth in
the other.
-
Use
the rubber side of the KLEENER to remove the coarse
dust. Starting at the top and one side of the one section,
make a complete stroke across the area.
-
Use
the leather side of the KLEENER to remove the fine dust.
Apply the leather side of the KLEENER to the same surface
cleaned in Step 3, using long strokes.

Cleaning
Finney Blackboard KLEENERS
The
best way to clean KLEENERS is also the easiest. Simply
wipe the working surfaces with a slightly damp cloth and
set the KLEENER aside to dry. KLEENERS may also be cleaned
with a brushless type of fitting on a vacuum or with a
soft-bristled hand brush.
