Make dark grey appear black

Hello, I filmed a product video the other day. I used a piece of almost black foam as a background. The piece was probably 3'x5' so I had to have the product, and therefore my lighting, close to the background. In the footage, the background seems like a dark grey. Besides just making the darks darker or pumping the contrast, how can I make this appear black (or almost black)? Thanks.

Does that not work?

To get it dark enough it makes the product to dark and blochy.
