Cleaning White Boards

My board was getting so bad that I was ready to go to Office Max and spring for the squirty bottle of cleaner. But the smallest one was $4 and I'm feeling cheap right now. When I read the label, I saw that the contents of the bottle were acetate and isopropyl. So I came home, got a shot glass, mixed a wee bit o' fingernail polish remover with a wee bit o' rubbing alchohol, rubbed it on the stains on my board, and it polished up white and beautiful. Whoa! That was cheap and quick and effective!

    My kitchen sports a large chalkboard, but I've been to 4 stores in the last week trying to buy more chalk - can't find it anywhere. Everything seems to be dry erase these days.

    Hi Polly, Try the toy section -- sidewalk chalk comes in large and small sticks.

    What a great idea! I'll have to try that next time.

    Polly, I prefer wet-erase, but try to find those boards anywhere!

    I think Office Max has chalk, if there's one of those around. Walmart does too; it's in the art section here.
