    Before first use<\/h2>

    Before using a new chalkboard, prepare the surface with regular chalk. Rub the side of the chalk across the entire board, then erase it with a clean chalkboard eraser. This helps create an even writing surface and prevents the first marks from standing out too strongly. Use standard chalk that is suitable for chalkboards. Avoid oil-based chalk, wax-based products, or markers that are not intended for chalkboard surfaces.<\/p>

    Daily chalkboard cleaning<\/span><\/p>

    For daily cleaning, erase the board with a clean chalkboard eraser. Work across the surface evenly and remove chalk dust from the eraser regularly. A clean eraser gives better results. When an eraser becomes saturated with chalk dust, it can leave residue behind instead of removing it.<\/p>

    Deeper cleaning<\/h2>

    For more thorough cleaning, use a clean damp cloth. Wipe the board evenly and remove remaining chalk residue. After cleaning, dry the surface completely before writing on it again. Do not leave the board wet for long. A dry surface gives better writing performance and helps avoid streaks.<\/p>

    How to reduce chalk residue<\/h2>

    Chalk residue can build up over time, especially in high-use classrooms and training rooms. Regular dry erasing, combined with occasional damp cleaning, helps keep the surface consistent. If residue remains visible after erasing, clean the board with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. Make sure the eraser is clean before using the board again.<\/p>

    What not to use on CeramicSteel chalkboards<\/h2>

    Avoid abrasive pads, scouring powders, wax-based cleaners and oily products. These can leave a film on the surface, affecting the writing experience. Do not use permanent markers, paint markers or unsuitable chalk markers unless the product has been tested and approved for the surface. If the wrong product is used, clean the board as soon as possible to prevent residue from building up.<\/p>

    Long-lasting chalkboard performance<\/h2>

    CeramicSteel chalkboards are designed for intensive use. A simple cleaning routine helps protect the writing quality and keeps the board ready for everyday use. Use suitable chalk, clean the eraser regularly, and remove residue before it builds up. For detailed instructions, download the Polyvision Cleaning & Care Guide or contact the Polyvision team for product-specific recommendations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    How do I clean a CeramicSteel chalkboard?<\/h3>\n

    Use a clean chalkboard eraser for daily cleaning. For deeper cleaning, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and dry it completely.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Why does my chalkboard still look dusty after erasing?<\/h3>\n

    The eraser may be full of chalk dust, or residue may have built up on the surface. Clean the eraser and wipe the board with a damp cloth.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Can I use chalk markers on a CeramicSteel chalkboard?<\/h3>\n

    Only use products that are suitable for the surface. Some chalk markers can leave residue and may be harder to remove.<\/span><\/p>\n
