:lol: ok...just don't want to make it so the chalk doesn't write well anymore....kids used something on it before we moved...and that corner isn't very good anymore....

I'll try just a wet cloth....hope it works...they love this chalk board easal thing.....;)

I just use water...at school. (I have both chalkboards and white boards...really prefer the white board!) If it won't come clean, you can always repaint it with chalkboard paint. (They sell it at paint stores...and I think even Wal Mart.)
