You might already know about this, but it’s something I discovered quite by accident and it might help you to save a few $$$$ either on a new board or a gadget to clean it!!
I was cleaning my cutting board, after joining all my bits of batting for a project, and just as I was about to clean the board off I wondered if you all knew how easy it is to do ……….
All I use is a pencil eraser!!!
Just a cheap little eraser, less than $2 from the supermarket!!
Here’s the before shot …..
Here’s how I did it. Using the flat side of the eraser rub it in a circular motion on the cutting board and all the fluff magically comes away from the board!!!
Now if you don’t know how to join up your scraps of batting, let me know in the comments and I’ll show you that too …. it’s easy peasy :o)!!

I'd love to know how you join up your scraps! Thanks for the tip about cleaning the cutting mat too!
Great tip..... much easier than what I have tried to do.... rubbing with wet cloths..... rubbing with dry cloths... scraping with a ruler......
Thanks

Thanks for that great tip! Love the little bags you found and the apron you received is wonderful :D. I really like the idea of a charm brooch.

Hey,
NIFTY NOODLE.. I remember the last time my board looked like that I used a lint roller but it did not do nearly that well. Will keep that in mind.. Thanks,

A great tip, Joy, thanks for showing us.
Fabulous, I am having that same problem. Thanks for the tip.
What a great way to clean the board I have tried everything even pulling the bits out with tweezers. I made one of your last years stitcheries and gave it away this year you can see it at http://brunosmom.blogspot.com/
I did the 'scrapping with ruler' and other methods but your method works best! Thanks for the tip!

Good tip! My girlfriend has a tool that you rub over your cutting mat, it's supposed to keep it from getting those grooves in it and extend the life of the mat - I didn't notice any difference though. I'll try the eraser, I already have one of those!
How did you know I needed to clean my Cutting Board..he he

What a great tip. I didn't know about that and I don't know how to join up the wadding either. I would love to know the secret.
The three little cases you found are gorgeous.

What a cool trick that is! I would never have though of that! And I'd love to know how you join your batting scraps! Thanks Joy! :0)
Pretty cool! Now show me how to join up the scraps of batting. ;D
Thanks so much Joy,
I would never have thought of it. BTW how do you join those bits of batting together?
Hugs, Sharon
Good tip Joy. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Jeanette
Thank you so much Joy for this great how-to. I will go and use it on my board. I have a "fluffy" side, that I just turned over and hoped it would work itself out! You are an angel! Hugs, -Cori
How cool is that! I don't like the green boards because they do that :) Thankfully mine is a different brand and doesn't have that problem, but now at least I know what to do in case I get a green one!!
Thanks for sharing,

Thank you so much now I won't have to buy a new cutting mat.
Oh, what a great tip ! Thanks a lot, Joy !
