Clean slate - but how?

[Jim Baldwin]

I know, really stupid or "basic" question: I tried Sea Buff, an eraser, toothpaste and rubbing alcohol to erase my pencil writing on a plastic slate. It looks like I could probably clean it in an hour of vigorous scrubbing, but there must be a more efficient, less ridiculous solution.

I cut them in half and they're a one time use. A half pad will work a couple of times if you're not cleaning too many multi page slates. I keep the unused ones in a zip lock bag. They're cheap and I have a ready supply under the kitchen sink.

Another vote for toothe paste-just not the gel type.

Mr. Clean eraser pad. Perfection.

I promise if you try the Mr. Clean magic eraser you will never use anything else.

Abrasive cream kitchen cleaner (e.g. Vim, Jif). Takes a couple of seconds to get it completely clean.

The Mr Clean Magic erasers are great! They will take most anything off with great ease. I had a friend who kid wrote all over her nice kitchen table and after many tries of many different solutions I came over and brought a little piece of the Mr Clean and poof! It was gone. It cleans all sorts of stuff. I don't know what they put in that little sponge--but it is worth its weight in gold!

I agree 100%.

Except, I don't want to know what they put it in. I suspect I won't want to have anything to do with them if I find out. Ignorance in bliss.
