[font size=5]13 Amazing Uses for WD-40 [/font]
Find out what this garage staple can do to make your life easier.
from Extraordinary Used for Ordinary Things
1. Protect a bird feeder
To keep squirrels from taking over a bird feeder, spray a generous amount of WD-40 on top of the feeder. The pesky squirrels will slide right off.
4. Exterminate roaches and repel insects
Dont let cockroaches, insects, or spiders get the upper hand in your home. Keep a can of WD-40 handy, and when you see a roach, spray a small amount directly on it for an instant kill. To keep insects and spiders out of your home, spray WD-40 on windowsills and frames, screens, and door frames. Be careful not to inhale the fumes when you spray and do not do this at all if you have babies or small children at home.
8. Clean toilet bowls
You dont need a bald genie or a specialized product to clean ugly gunk and lime stains from your toilet bowl. Use WD-40 instead: Spray it into the bowl for a couple of seconds and swish with a nylon toilet brush. The solvents in the WD-40 will help dissolve the gunk and lime.
11. Prevent snow buildup on windows
Does the weather forecast predict a big winter snowstorm? You cant stop the snow from falling, but you can prevent it from building up on your houses windows. Just spray WD-40 over the outside of your windows before the snow starts and the snow wont stick.
13. Remove doggie-doo
Uh-oh, now youve stepped in it! Few things in life are more unpleasant than cleaning doggie-doo from the bottom of a sneaker, but the task will be a lot easier if you have a can of WD-40 handy. Spray some on the affected sole and use an old toothbrush to clean the crevices. Rinse with cold water and the sneakers will be ready to hit the pavement again. Now, dont forget to watch where you step!
