A Clean Erase

I painted a whole wall in my office with chalkboard paint last weekend. Barely writing on it, I noticed that when I erased the wall, it wasn’t clean and left a trail of chalk behind. I didn’t want to scrub it off too hard with the fear that it would scratch or erode the surface of the paint.

The solution: Use a rag or a lint-free cloth, dab it in a little Coke (Dr. Pepper works, too) and start erasing. Don’t worry, the soda won’t leave your wall sticky. It’ll return the chalkboard wall to it’s original state, free of any traces of chalk drawings!
