Most of us are familiar with this amazingly agile little household mainstay and have used it to solve a number of different problems. I thought that you might like to know more about this well-known WD-40 product.
Though it originally was created in 1953 as a rust preventative solvent and de-greaser to protect missile parts, its versatility was quickly realized and people started trying it as a fix for just about everything. It may not be a cure-all, but just look at what it can do:
Gets oil spots off concrete driveways.
Loosens stubborn zippers.
Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.
Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and in homes.
Excellent at removing troublesome build-up on stove tops.
Keeps rust from forming on saws and other tools.
Keeps pigeons off the balcony. (they hate the smell)
Removes nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring.
Great for removing that summer film of bug guts on the front of the car.
… plus thousands of others.
BTW – know where the name WD 40 came from? It comes from the original project in ‘53 to find a “Water Displacement” compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.
