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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 !
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.
I cut open a jackfruit, the peel full of latex like liquid..it got all over the knife, i srayed wd40 and leave overnight, the nxt day just wipe clean with paper towel. That easy..
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.
Half of those aren't really hacks it's WD-40 was made for. & I'd watch putting on painted anything you would want to repaint it may bleed through new paint.
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.
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.
If you live in desert never use wd40 on any locks cause it gums it up with dirt. Use Tri Flow. And never use graphite. Speaking on this cause I'm a locksmith in Nevada.
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
That stainless Steel needs more than a couple of rub downs because I could see streek marks after you had finished , & as for bugs WD40 only kills certain bugs it does not kill woodlice
*Do NOT use this on door locks and hinges. For locks use White Lithium grease. For hinges use Silicone spray. And I would suggest White vinegar to shine and disinfect Stainless steel. Do you really want your pets and kids touching this stuff?*
My partner is a truck driver and always comes home with grease on his clothes. I spray a little wd40 on the stains and then scrub with a toothbrush. Once the stains gone I can wash as usual
Basic component of a homeowner’s tool kit - WD-40, an adjustable wrench, and of course, duct tape! For anything these won’t help, you may need to call for help … (or borrow your neighbor’s tools ;-)
I've seen hundreds of these videos. They are so misleading. WD40, only does one to maybe three things OK. Each of those things would be better served by another product. Don't get me wrong for a product I just keep in my garage and use for everything it half ass does it's job. I do use it. But it doesn't do anything great, except repel water for about a day or two.
How to properly clean a toilet take and mix a 50/50 solution of vinegar and oil free acne wash with 2% salicylic acid. Wash all surfaces of the toilet this makes a toilet perfectly clean and better than other cleansers I have tried. It makes a toilet actually feel good to use.

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.

Great point!
TSP is the answer.👍

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.

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.

Thanks for the jewel I graduated drywall and I did painting have paperwork for both and I have never learned that much appreciated
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.
I'd wear gloves when using WD-40. You don't want those chemicals absorbed through your skin.
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
I spray my snow shovel when I start works great.
It helps keep the snow from clumping up in your snowblower and especially in the chute
For Hack #10; Great idea! However, I don’t know if the WD-40 stench is worth the shine....
I like the smell!
Stops squeaky doors? How is this a hack? Everyone buys WD-40 primarily for this reason. Lol
😂😂😂
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.
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...
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.
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
Fire in the rain also sets wet wood on fire instantly 😊
WD-40 also makes a great flamethrower! 👍🏼
Says spray a little on....(Drenches) it in wd 40. Lol.😂😂
Got rid of a huge infestation of carpenter bees just by spraying the outside wood. They never came back.
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 RUclips... 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.
Thank you. My little can has a different nozzle but I was able to force the straw in.
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.
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
Be careful spraying it on shoes because it can make the soles slippery
How does that red straw fit....i didnt have luck on a regular can.....
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.
Also fish love it
Lmao.... Preferred air freshener of mechanics!
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!
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...

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?
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?
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.

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.
I need to get some more WD-40. 😁
Here....I have extra.....

Hold on……where can I buy the CD for the background music………😂

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
If forming up a mold for some concrete garden edging, spray the sides and bottom of the mold with a little WD40...
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.
Also good for arthritis
You better really love how this smells.
