>>>>>>>>>>>>more>>>>>>>>> I'm impressed! WD-40 who knew?
Look it up, Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust
preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was
created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical
Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water
displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation,
thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in
WD-40 that would hurt you. When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing
that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it
works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your
stove top... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

Thank you for sharing this information with us.

Wow i have used it for a couple things like hinges and getting bugs off the car. i will have to try it on my shower cubicle and test it out :) Thanx*4u

woh who would of thought of that. do you know the chemicals that are used to make rubber tires for cars etc is the same as what is in anything that is strawberry flavored except for jam

I can remember my late husband saying "where's the WD-40 everytime I turned around, but never paid much attention. Had no idea it was that good, but there/s always a can n the house. Thanks Shirlener *4U

ok I thought you had gone nuts and then I read it .all I can say is WOW
I am pinching the can out of the boat to try on the shower (My most hated job )

Thank you for sharing, I have a glass top stove and you can bet that I will be trying it.

OK - going to try one of these now - went out to check my shrubs this AM and got into fire ants! Can't keep those pesky things out of our lawn and flowers at all! Thanks for sharing.

I know it 'frees off' sticking locks Shirlene but I didn't know you could bait fishes with it. Good gracious me!!!!!!!

It reads like a snake-oil salesman's spiel for his magic elixir... but if it works on even SOME of the ascribed uses I'm sure willing to give it a try. Thanks for sharing Shirlene.*4u

Boy has it got uses Shirlene, will have to get at it and try some of them out...thanks a bunch Glenda *4U

I have used "Goo Gone" for many of these problems. Removing stickers, grease, gum, tar, crayon,tape.etc. and then I have to find a way to remove the Goo Gone. I'll certainly try wd 40. I think someone said to never spray it on sewing machine parts. It would gum it up!!!

That's great information, Shirlene! I never knew that WD-40 had so many uses. I've got a can in hand, and I'm headed to a confrontation with my shower door! Thanks so much! *4U

I have used WD-40 for many of these things also one it does not mention... Those misserable stickers/labels that leave gummy mess behind... spray WD-40 on it then wipe off with paper towel :D.

thanks, will try this out.

WOW, I know my husband uses it for a lot of things. But I would never have thought of trying some of those things.

Shirlene , Thank You for all of the uses . My. late husband and I use to have a Hardware Store. And there were so older people that would buy WD 40 and swear it helped old Arthur in their joints. Can't confirm but couldn't hurt. A flower for you.

Did you mention spraying it on fridge and freezer door seals to prevent mold? I think you may have found a couple i haven't used it for but i always keep a tin under the kitchen sink and woebetied if DH ever tries to take mine when his runs out!!!! LOL! hugs n thanks for sharing, M

I use Detol to remove mold from anything made from Leather and also to remove stubborn mold from fridge & freezer door seals, THEN spray with WD to keep mold at bay...... Eucalyptus oil will remove glue/gum residue, left behind from sticky labels, from almost anything, it is safe and it leaves a nice smell. Hugs n roses, M

Thankyou for this list. WD40 has a lot of uses around our home. I had a sticky key hole. Sprayed in lock with the tube attatchment , now the key slides in around & out easily. :)

I've missed a lot being away for a couple of days. But I must say this list is the best of all. Only used it to loosen and protect things on my boat. Now I'll be wandering around, can in hand, looking for things to attack. Thanks Shirlene!

thank you shirlener
