No More Chalk Dust

September 19, 2008

From Joann Benson, a vocal music teacher at Sandymount Elementary School in Hampstead, Maryland

"An experienced teacher gave me this tip ages ago. For a terrific chalk board cleaner, dab a terry cloth rag with Old English Furniture Polish. Wrap it up right and put it in a Ziploc bag for a couple of days -- the oil will soak in. Use that rag instead of erasers for a "new board" look with no dust!"
