Materials:

  • WD-40 multi-purpose lubricant

Directions:

Hack #1: Clean Stainless Steel

Stainless steel surfaces can be quite hard to clean and to keep shiny, but with the right solution you can make them look new again, and that is WD-40. Simply spray a bit of WD-40 on a rag, then wipe it all over steel surfaces nicely, and you’ll see all of the marks will be gone. This works because the oil in this product helps remove any stains and marks as well as adds a protective barrier which can help to prevent any future stains.

Hack #2: Remove Strong Glue

If you have glue stuck in your hands and it won’t come off no matter how hard you try or wash your hands, then try spraying some WD-40 all over your hands, and rub them with a circular motion. You will see that the glue will come right off and dissolve, plus, this works well on surfaces with glue, too!

Hack #3: Keep Wasps From Building Nests

If you have areas in your house that are prone to wasp nests and you want to keep them away, then spray a small amount around that area, and the slippery texture will make it hard for them and uncomfortable which will then force them to find another spot. This works well in keeping spiders and other insects away, too.

Hack #4: Clean Showerhead and Toilet

WD-4- is effective in removing rust and grimes, so if you have a showerhead and toilet that has a lot of buildups, spray WD-40 on them, then let them sit for a few minutes, and start scrubbing them clean with a plastic bristle brush. If the rusts are too old and stubborn, then you may need to repeat this process a few more times until the desired result.
