As a painter for 35 years I can tell you that cleaning anything with WD40 that will eventually need to be repainted will cause latex paint to fish eye and fail to bond requiring either a degreaser or oil based primer before painting a time consuming and potentially expensive repair.

Great tips...here's another one...I found a very nice painting at the back of my building...it was very dirty..I used cotton makeup remover pads sprayed with WD40 and it came up beautiful

My dog chewed a blue bic pen and it was all over my rug in the middle of my living room and I sprayed this and scrubbed and it took it right out. Thank goodness!

I was advised by a guy at a local hardware store to never spray WD40 onto door locks (that what I was after) because is will eventually clog the lock. You should only use graphite powder.

You were told correctly. Graphite powder only.

All of these are great tips. The only thing I would add is to use a dry lubricant on door hinges and locks instead of the WD-40. Dust is automatically attracted to anything wet so after a while the dust will collect in the door hinges and locks which will make it harder to use. You can find the dry lubricants right next to the WD-40 any place that sells WD-40

B' Sha, I was really intrigued by all these other uses for WD40. Until I saw her using it on the door locks😳🤭😬😮 Many years ago, a locksmith told me to NEVER use any type of spray lubricants on door locks, because it will attract dust, etc. He suggested using graphite powder. That’s all I’ve ever used.

@@maureenazevedo6219 and if u don't have graphite powder, rub it with the tip of a pencil. The tiny bits of lead is a dry lubricant.

Any time you spray WD-40 onto a painted surface you need to de grease that area or the next time you go to paint the paint will separate a condition called fisheye if you don’t you’re painter will get pissed off because he will need to prime it with oil based primer before the finish coat and oh by the way I’m a painter.

It helps keep the snow from clumping up in your snowblower and especially in the chute

I use it on the black plastic trim and moldings on my old Jeep. It darkens them up again and they look new again - for a few weeks anyway

Here's a savings hack: You can buy a gallon of WD-40 for as little as $20.00 or around $32.00. That gets you 128 oz. Compare that to $11 or $12 dollars for those little 12 oz cans. Get a tiny funnel and fill up a squeeze bottle like an old nasal spray bottle.

I used WD-40 to eliminate wood bees that had taken over my garage. That was 3 weeks ago and I haven't seen one since.

Spray in keyhole and other orifices of exterior padlocks to flush out accumulated weathered debris and free up internal seized parts. Spray sprouting weeds in sidewalk cracks as an herbicide.

Thank you for the great ideas

love it...I'm always reaching for the WD

Good advice

Cool thank you very much. I noticed it seems we don't have to protect our hands from it. Does it not harm the skin please?

Mitchalisia Hi, I have used WD40 to get dark spots/ stains out of carpet, & it WORKS ! Just test it first in a hidden area to make sure it doesn't discolor the carpet. Probably would work on clothing & upholstery just as good !

It also has paint relieving properties so you can spray in o. The hurting area

Thanks

I guess making the door not squeak is for people who didn’t know what it’s for. But the other stuff was great. I knew some but you taught me more.

Complimenti per il tuo video (molto utile)😀👏

Good job

Excellent idea 💡 👏

Try it on snow shovels and snow blowers. Use it to get small screws out that have been put in with loc-tite, like on firearms.

If forming up a mold for some concrete garden edging, spray the sides and bottom of the mold with a little WD40...

Thank You! I like it! Keep more coming!

All well and good but the strong residual odor can be very overwhelming.

said it before you are crafty but there is another spray out there that doesn’t attract dust like WD just fyi it’s better for doors and such

I use WD 40 to revive my slate place mats, slate coasters and the slate base of my fireplace, when they start looking dried out and dull. It makes them look like new again. Don’t use it on slate flooring though as it will make it slippery and dangerous to walk on.

Ugh. An appliance installer ruined the finish on my ss hood doing this. Not all ss is alike.

Ive tried to hinges looks but after few became rusty and mimic the hinges, not suitable for not stainless. But ok for insect

Another hack...buy WD-40 by the gallon and get a spray bottle. It saves you a ton of money without having to switch to Geico.
