Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chalk Ink Marker 6mm Classic Colors Set/8Customer Review: Perfect for Chalkboard Fridge Summary: 4 Stars
When I first told people I wanted a chalkboard door on my new (ridiculously expensive) refrigerator, people thought I was crazy. What would I do about the chalk dust? Didn't I know my kids would grind bits of chalk into the floor? It would be such a mess, etc., etc. *I* knew there had to be a product on market for professional use, and this is it.
These chalk marker work like old-school paint pens - you shake them up, depress the tip to let the ink flow, and then write with them. Very clean, very tidy, no dust, no smearing.
The downside is that they require a damp cloth (I like my microfiber sponge) to remove. This being said, if you have a very porous chalkboard, or one mounted on porous material (wood, particle board, drywall) it isn't ever going to come out. Hence the way-too-small manufacturer's comment at the bottom of a previous poster's comments about a "hard surface". Read the manufacturer's directions carefully and do *not* try and use these unless you're sure you have a compatible chalkboard! Sacrifice a test corner if you're not sure. My chalkboard is fused to a sheet of metal - about as non-porous as you can get. And so far the chalk pens have come off just fine.
I do really like them, but since the chiseled tip breaks down quickly (at least under my kids' hands) and they're fairly expensive for the amount of ink they hold, I can't give them a five star rating. I'm currently considering mounting another magnetic chalkboard panel elsewhere in the house, just for the kids to use, and I'll probably just give them regular chalk to use - it's cheaper and easier to clean. As for me? I'll keep the liquid chalk for myself ;-)
