When I was younger, I always used to laugh when my Dad said he’d fix something with his magic can, but as I grew up, I too learned to appreciate the many uses for WD40. WD40 is so much more than a simple lubricant you squirt on squeaky hinges. I believe everyone should have a can in their garage or basement because there are some brilliant uses for WD40. Here’s just some.

1. A Stuck Ring
Don’t you just hate it when a ring gets stuck on your finger? Forget the soap and endless tugging – one of the best uses for WD40 is to loosen a tight ring. A quick spurt and the ring slides off. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.
2. Tea Stains
Tea stains on your countertop? One way to utilize WD40 is to quirt a small amount onto a damp sponge or cloth and firmly wipe until the stain disappears.

WD40 is a multi-purpose lubricant and penetrant product that can be used for a variety of household tasks. It is a petroleum-based product that is designed to displace moisture and prevent corrosion. It is safe to use on most surfaces and can be used to lubricate moving parts, clean and protect metal surfaces, and even remove tea stains. WD40 can also be used to remove stubborn stickers, crayon marks, and even gum. It can also help loosen stuck or rusted screws, hinges, and locks. WD40 is a great tool to have in any home and can help make many home improvement projects easier.
3. Save Your Glassware
Ever had glasses and bowls stick together and no matter what you do you can’t get them unstuck? If you try too hard the glass may break. One of the ways to use WD40 I learned is to spray some onto the stuck glassware. Wait a short while for it to penetrate between the items and then gently separate them. Remember to wash them thoroughly to get rid of the WD40.
4. Refresh Your Barbecue
It’s not surprising when a barbecue grill starts looking shabby due to use and if it’s outdoors, even more so. Everyone likes their grill to look good and it can, easily, thanks to WD40. Generously spray WD40 onto the cold grill, wait a short while and then scrub with a brush (wire) until it’s clean.

5. Chewing Gum & Hair
Chewing gum and hair just don’t go together - ask any mom. Thank goodness one of the ways to use WD40 is to get rid of the gooey mess. Squirt WD40 onto the gum and hair and you can comb it out. Keep the spray away from eyes and always use WD40 in a well aired room.
