As a painter for 35 years I can tell you that cleaning anything with WD40 that will eventually need to be repainted will cause latex paint to fish eye and fail to bond requiring either a degreaser or oil based primer before painting a time consuming and potentially expensive repair.
All of these are great tips. The only thing I would add is to use a dry lubricant on door hinges and locks instead of the WD-40. Dust is automatically attracted to anything wet so after a while the dust will collect in the door hinges and locks which will make it harder to use. You can find the dry lubricants right next to the WD-40 any place that sells WD-40
B' Sha, I was really intrigued by all these other uses for WD40. Until I saw her using it on the door locks😳🤭😬😮 Many years ago, a locksmith told me to NEVER use any type of spray lubricants on door locks, because it will attract dust, etc. He suggested using graphite powder. That’s all I’ve ever used.
I was advised by a guy at a local hardware store to never spray WD40 onto door locks (that what I was after) because is will eventually clog the lock. You should only use graphite powder.
My dog chewed a blue bic pen and it was all over my rug in the middle of my living room and I sprayed this and scrubbed and it took it right out. Thank goodness!
Great tips...here's another one...I found a very nice painting at the back of my building...it was very dirty..I used cotton makeup remover pads sprayed with WD40 and it came up beautiful
Any time you spray WD-40 onto a painted surface you need to de grease that area or the next time you go to paint the paint will separate a condition called fisheye if you don’t you’re painter will get pissed off because he will need to prime it with oil based primer before the finish coat and oh by the way I’m a painter.
Mitchalisia Hi, I have used WD40 to get dark spots/ stains out of carpet, & it WORKS ! Just test it first in a hidden area to make sure it doesn't discolor the carpet. Probably would work on clothing & upholstery just as good !
You forgot "Avoid porous surfaces, WD40 will leave oil stains." It also is a great rust prevention coating, and prefered air freshener of mechanics. I used to use it to restore plastics and rubbers on my car before Amorall made me a better person.
Spray in keyhole and other orifices of exterior padlocks to flush out accumulated weathered debris and free up internal seized parts. Spray sprouting weeds in sidewalk cracks as an herbicide.
It works well for machining aluminum.. leaves a nice surface finish and pieces don't get stuck to your tooling. I wouldn't put it on my car paint though.. or my boots
Most of your suggestions are not a hacks it's what wd-40 is intended for, BTW if your dead bolt sticks turn the lock so the shaft is sticking out, spray the shaft then retract the shaft into the lock so it could lubricate the inside parts, the way you spray really did nothing for the lock.
Yes, my patio door lock seizes up in summer and WD40 is great for that. As you say, you need to give it a couple of minutes and then work the lock free.
You're better off using a dry spray lube like graphite or better yet PTFE (Teflon) in your locks. After a while the WD40 will gum up, especially when it gets really cold.
I use WD 40 to revive my slate place mats, slate coasters and the slate base of my fireplace, when they start looking dried out and dull. It makes them look like new again. Don’t use it on slate flooring though as it will make it slippery and dangerous to walk on.
WD40 contains petroleum oil! Do not ever use on home surfaces that are not supposed to be oiled! Do not use it on things that are in touch with food. It is just like putting motor oil on them! If you do, then afterwards you have to clean it very well with a soap, which usually does the work itself without the wd40. It contains a hydrocarbon (something like propane) that can clean stuff and is anticorrosive, hence the mixture of oil and propane makes the "magic". In fact it is very simple explanation what it does and how it does it. But do not "clean" with it as it leaves oil.
If you really want to remove labels. Use namptha. If you want to oil a hinge or lock. Use oil. I could continue but I think I'm going to start my own video. To explain the best ways to do all these things without WD40

I agree. I wouldn't clean anything like that with it. 👍
Also true on autobody paint and Clearcoat.
@@roberto3262 - Always start with the easiest way. Brake cleaner, damp towel, mild apc, etc.
Dedicated products.
Great point!
TSP is the answer.👍

Great tip! Thank you! Will definitely save me some hassle
Use a silicone spray for door hinges
Spike Riches , good idea, I didn't even think about silicone

@@maureenazevedo6219 and if u don't have graphite powder, rub it with the tip of a pencil. The tiny bits of lead is a dry lubricant.
I'd wear gloves when using WD-40. You don't want those chemicals absorbed through your skin.

Correct!!
Very truth
Because he probably wants you to buy a new one.
Exactly. I learned that living in Vancouver Island, BC where it always is moist.
You were told correctly. Graphite powder only.
When snow is wet and heavy I spray shovel with wd40 and snow wont stick
Pam and crisco work too
I use kerosene on mine because it's $3.50 a gallon. But I'm sure that WD40 works great too.
Thank you
Welcome!

The dog or the ink?
@@charleselder212 😆 LOL
Can hair spray breaks down ink also.
Great tips...here's another one...I found a very nice painting at the back of my building...it was very dirty..I used cotton makeup remover pads sprayed with WD40 and it came up beautiful
It helps keep the snow from clumping up in your snowblower and especially in the chute
Loved this one.
I spray my snow shovel when I start works great.
I use it on the black plastic trim and moldings on my old Jeep. It darkens them up again and they look new again - for a few weeks anyway
Use Cerakote. Best ever
Thank you. My little can has a different nozzle but I was able to force the straw in.
Great, I tried this advice before and they work fine.
Amazing to hear! Thanks for letting us know. 😊

Thanks for the jewel I graduated drywall and I did painting have paperwork for both and I have never learned that much appreciated
Stops squeaky doors? How is this a hack? Everyone buys WD-40 primarily for this reason. Lol
😂😂😂
For Hack #10; Great idea! However, I don’t know if the WD-40 stench is worth the shine....
I like the smell!
Wow, thanks for great tips.
WD-40 also makes a great flamethrower! 👍🏼
Wow, thank you!!!
I love everyone of these tips. Please keep more WD-40 tips coming. Thanks
Thanks for the tips
Great ideas I did not know
I spray this sometimes just so i can smell it😄but these are great tips thanks for sharing
Yaaaasssss
you should try some whipped cream in a can. the NOX will get you totally ozoned.
That's called "huffing", great way to lose brain cells forever...

Thank you for the great ideas
Fire in the rain also sets wet wood on fire instantly 😊
Wow brilliant.
Now everything you own smells like WD40..........
daniel jones but it worked? Scent Will go away?
I thought the same thing i use it in my work and it stays for a long time
Is that a bad thing?
Lol.
' no9s
Great information,thank youuuuuuu....
Good job
Excellent idea 💡 👏
Works great for removing heel marks on your floor
I guess making the door not squeak is for people who didn’t know what it’s for. But the other stuff was great. I knew some but you taught me more.
The crayon one saved my life lol.
Can you spray on white shoes?
Oh these are awesome 👌
Says spray a little on....(Drenches) it in wd 40. Lol.😂😂
Thanks!

Love this video
Complimenti per il tuo video (molto utile)😀👏
Thank you
love it...I'm always reaching for the WD
Cool thank you very much. I noticed it seems we don't have to protect our hands from it. Does it not harm the skin please?
Thank you!!!!
Also good for arthritis
Never use wd40 on a lock
Use graphite which is made for sticky locks and knobs
Not true. I use WD on all my locks. It helps keep water out too. Not only do I play a locksmith on TH-cam... I'm also one in real life.
It's always worked excellently on my doors. I only need to use it every couple of years, and it never fails to free them up.
Be careful spraying it on shoes because it can make the soles slippery
I used it to open my jam locker and it worked
Luv the bug hack
How does that red straw fit....i didnt have luck on a regular can.....
All well and good but the strong residual odor can be very overwhelming.
I bought some recently, and it doesn’t smell as bad as it used to.
Thankyou
Very interesting thsnk you for your video
It also has paint relieving properties so you can spray in o. The hurting area
It works well for machining aluminum.. leaves a nice surface finish and pieces don't get stuck to your tooling. I wouldn't put it on my car paint though.. or my boots
didn’t know what wd40 could do thank you for sharing this
Help full thank you
Awesome!
Great video
WD40 ..... The Tin Man would like to order a lifetime supply ! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Is very nice thank you🤗🤗
If forming up a mold for some concrete garden edging, spray the sides and bottom of the mold with a little WD40...
I love a cup of WD in the morning. 💕
I need to get some more WD-40. 😁
Here....I have extra.....
What about the strong solvent smell?
I used WD-40 to eliminate wood bees that had taken over my garage. That was 3 weeks ago and I haven't seen one since.
Try it on snow shovels and snow blowers. Use it to get small screws out that have been put in with loc-tite, like on firearms.
Sooo satisfying 🤤the results are almost as good as when I use crocodile cloths when cleaning
Its very good at killing wasps. Mint is a better alternative to keeping bugs out of the house.
Dawn or other dish soap and water in a spray bottle also kill wasps!
Thanks

Hold on……where can I buy the CD for the background music………😂
Like yes it’s annoying

WD40 is great stuff.

Can you imagine going on a date with your shoes reeking like wd40 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Do not put WD on leather it will dry rot them.
Joe Blow That's true. Same to rubber.
Just wipe your leather shoes with use cooking oil better than spray wd40 on it...
Thank you, some I had forgotten and some I didn't know, so useful 👍
So my house it’s going to smell like my mechanic shop? 😂

I have a small one...but now I think I need more 😅😂😂😂
said it before you are crafty but there is another spray out there that doesn’t attract dust like WD just fyi it’s better for doors and such
Voice over: spray some on a cloth and then wipe your shoes..
Video: sprays on shoes and then wipes with a cloth
Lol all in fun, love this channel 💙
I do all of these but use mobile 1. It’s difficult to pour but the results are good.
Another hack...buy WD-40 by the gallon and get a spray bottle. It saves you a ton of money without having to switch to Geico.
Works great for arthritis!!!!!
Olive oil works for stainless steel too.
I use a spray car wax
Now everything you own just became extremely flammable....
Cheap turpentine oil does the same things more efficiently

Good for key slot on your automobile door too. Keys don't stick!
Got rid of a huge infestation of carpenter bees just by spraying the outside wood. They never came back.
