Using WD-40 Around Your Home: Practical and Cheap

There are numerous alternative uses for everyday products in your home right now. The common household product called WD-40 (a lubricant, penetrating oil and water-displacing spray) is readily available and fairly inexpensive compared to other chemical products and is much more versatile. Here are some of the uses of WD-40 for homeowners to use around the house:

Have a baby Picasso who loves to draw with crayon?  WD-40 removes crayon from most surfaces: wallpaper, compressed wood furniture, plastics, shoes, toys, chalk boards, inside clothes dryers, carpet, glass, screen doors, rock walls, television screens, and place mats.

From sticky substances to scuff marks, WD-40 can remove: scuff marks from ceramic tile flooring, marks from floors left by chairs, coffee stains from floors, black streaks from hardwood floors, paint from tile flooring, rust stains from floors after mopping, mascara from tile floors, rollerblade and skateboard marks from floors, sticker residue from clothes, permanent ink from most items, grime from grout on bathroom floors, tile adhesive from new no-wax floors, nail polish from hardwood floors, glue deposits from linoleum, stickers from credit cards, melted tape on tables, marks on running boards, marking pen from glass, gum, grease, grime, and to clean piano keys.

Along with removing a plethora of sticky or greasy things, WD-40 will also lubricate any moving metal objects around the house, like sticky drawers, door hinges, zippers, and even frees those Lego blocks your kids can’t get unstuck. It protects metal from corrosion and rust. Dad would love to keep his tools nice and shiny and new looking right? With just a light coat of WD-40 on them, they won’t rust and will stay nice in good-as-new condition for years to come.
