Chances are, you have a can of WD-40 in your cabinet, but you might not know that it’s good for way more than just greasing squeaky doors or get the car engine running after it has been flooded.
This amazing spray can do a lot more than that, and you will be amazed to know how WD-40 can help you in everyday life. Here are 15 clever ways you can use WD-40:
#15 – Keeps The Spiders Away
Do you have problems with spiders overgrowing in your shed? All you need to do is spray the outside and perimeter with this magic spray. However, keep pets and kids away from it as it is poisonous.
#14 – Slugs And Snails Don’t Need To Be A Problem With The Plants
If you spray the outside of the planter or pots where the plants are growing with WD-40, then you will keep the snails and slugs away. Again, be careful not to spray in the plants!
#13 – Prevents The Growth of Fungi In The Garden
Mold and mildew are a problem when it comes to your garden decor, and you can spray some of the magic to keep it fresh, so you don’t have to worry about fungi. However, be careful not to spray the garden with it!
#12 – Keeps Your Home Insect-Free
The last thing anyone wants is an infestation of bugs, especially cockroaches. WD-40 sprayed on doorframes and windowsills will keep those pests away. However, again, if you have young kids or pets, don’t use it.
#11 – Keep Your Counters Free Of Coffee Or Tea Stains
If you have rings of tea or coffee on your counters that you cannot scrub off with regular soap and water, put a little bit of WD-40 onto it and wipe it away with a rag. It will remove the stains in no time, and be sure to wash it off after with soap and water.
#10 – Remove Dark Stains From Denim
You could get blood, tomato sauce, or ink on your jeans or denim jacket, which is awful to see because it is hard to know if it will come out. However, with a tiny dab of WD-40, that will remove the harshest stains from your jeans in no time.
#9 – Keep Grass Away From Your Lawnmower
It is easy for grass to jam up the blades in your lawnmower, which will make it not overly functional. Put some WD-40 into the blades to remove the grass and it will keep going as new!
#8 – The Shortcut For Cleaning Toilets
Cleaning toilets is a task that no one wants to do. However, all that needs to be done is to add a spray of WD-40 in the toilet bowl and let it sit for a minute, then flush it, and the stain will be gone!
#7 – Loosen Up Zippers
Zippers get stuck on your clothing and it is so frustrating when it does. Frequently yanking of the zipper will cause it to break off and make it usable. Instead, put a tiny bit of WD-40 onto the zipper to unlock it and it will work. But be sure to keep the spray away from the clothing itself.
#6 – A Great Cleaner For Your Bathroom Tiles
It is hard to keep the bathroom tiles completely clean, however, add a little WD-40, diluted to a sponge or brush for scrubbing and clean the tiles. They will be as fresh as new after.
#5 – Keeps The Wasps Away
If you have a problem with wasps that build nests by your home, you will want to spray WD-40 under your roof by the time the spring rolls around so the nests are not even built at all!
#4 – Keep Bird Feeders Squirrel-Free
Squirrels can get into bird feeders often and that can be a huge problem. The best thing to do to prevent those pests from getting into the feeder is to spray on top of the feeder so the squirrel won’t be able to balance itself on it. It makes it slippery.
#3 – Make Your Shoes Waterproof
If your shoes are not waterproof, then the sure way to do that is by spraying WD-40 so the next time it rains and you step in puddles, your shoes will not be ruined.
#2 – A Wax Or Glue Remover From Carpet
When wax or glue gets into the carpet, that will make you think it will be expensive to clean up. However, adding some spray of WD-40 will remove it. Just spray, let it sit and dry up. Then clean it with a cloth or sponge.
#1 – Keep Snow From Building Up In Your House
Snowstorms can cause water damage, and if there is a storm in the forecast, be sure to spray the magic spray onto the outside windows and eaves so the snow does not build up on your house.
Now, you must be glad to have that can of WD-40 because, as you can see, you can do so much more than you had imagined with it.
