Prevent inheriting formatting from previous row.

I have a sheet where the first row is populated with instructions on how to complete each column (becasue the column title text is so limited - but i digress).

 

That row is formatted in a green color to set it off from the actual data rows.  The problem is, when I go to enter data in the next row (2), that row automatically changes to the above row's green color.

 

As i type this, I realize i can do a conditional formatting rule that sets the format to "no fill" when the primary column is empty or populated, but I'd rather not have to do that.

 

Any ideas?
