Instructions:
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 completely 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 build-up. Liquids can also have a pitting effect on chalkboards.
1. Erase markings from the board with a cloth or
felt eraser.
2. Prepare to work with the KLEENER in
one hand and cloth in the other.
3. Use the rubber side of the KLEENER to
remove the coarse dust. Starting at the top and one side of one section make a
complete stroke across the area.
4. 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.
To remove dust, wipe the rubber or leather
working surface with the cloth as the outside edge of the KLEENER becomes
full.
Do not wash the KLEENER with
water, but wipe only the working surface with a slightly damp cloth. The KLEENER may
also be cleaned with the use of a brushless type of fitting on a vacuum or with
a soft-bristled hand brush.
