I just love playing with chalk and I love giving chalk to my grandkids and making all kinds of drawings and games with them. Good clean fun! It was always something that I used outside the house…….now I find out that there are other uses for chalk inside the house.
Remove stains Mark ring-around-the-collar stains heavily with chalk before washing. The dust helps absorb the oils, making the stain easier to clean.
Stop tarnish Wrap chalk in cheesecloth and store with silverware. It absorbs moisture and helps prevent tarnishing.
Steady a screwdriver Rub chalk over the handle of a screwdriver to prevent slipping.
Keep ants out If ants are coming into your house, draw chalk lines around their entry points. Many chalks contain calcium carbonate, which ants don’t like.
Hide cracks Cover hairline cracks in walls until you’re ready to paint by rubbing over them with a matching color
