"WD-40 is named after the number of attempts it took to develop the product's formula: "Water Displacement, 40th formula". The name comes from the lab book of the chemist who created the product. In 1953, a team of scientists led by Norm Larsen at the Rocket Chemical Company in San Diego were tasked with creating a rust-prevention formula for aerospace technology. They needed a formula that would protect the Atlas Missile's outer skin from rust without adding too much weight, as paint would have done. After 40 failed attempts, they finally succeeded in developing a formula that could displace water, preventing rust and corrosion. The product was so effective that employees began taking cans home to use around the house, and the company eventually began selling it commercially."

Woah, didn't know this. Thanks!

[@davidschonhardt4958]

It's a solvent, not a lubercant. It will jam locks and ruins tools.

[@Jean-JacquesZenger]

​@@davidschonhardt4958 Wrong. It's both.

[@yolyV-hg3uc]

Wow, this was interesting to know, thank you for this info

[@Nikki_with_the_blikki]

​@@davidschonhardt4958jams locks? I used this a couple months ago to fix my bedroom door handle that took force to turn. Unscrewed it a little off the door, sprayed some in and it's worked like a charm since.

[@edlinke2368]

stuff is great ty 4 the heads up

[@tylerball7069]

Why would you want to repel spiders? They're free pest control!

[@margareth1504]

😂 Its so funny, one of our housemates goes outside to the palm tree and smokes cigarettes and on occasion a cockroach is on his back or head when he goes back in the house, but the wd40 trick would not work or be practical in this situation. We will tell him to just swish his hands about to make any cockroaches fly away before going in the house. 😂

[@ElianeDAguiar-b2n]

Thanks very much for tips, E.DAguiar 🇬🇾

[@SavingSavers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@spacystacy51]

O o grampa tell me bout the good ole days 😹💞

Right💕love that song

[@gregriddle1103]

It definitely helps everyone, everywhere

[@484848474]

WD40 is neither a lubricant nor does it contain any oil. (Original formula) But it works wonders in so many situations.

[@Bassingal]

Then WHY are we CONSTANTLY being told it is an oil and to NEVER SPRAY IT INTO A DOOR LOCK?

[@niteshades_promise]

it cleans and lubricates. required to clean hillard centrifugal clutches, but contaminates regular centrifugal clutches or brake pads. because its a solvent and a lubricant. not to replace oil or grease but fantastic on bicycles chains and derailleurs. 🍻

[@DankanCerisolaThe_Police2024]

WD-40 is an amazing product

[@OldAgeSaving]

Apply WD-40 to sliding glass door tracks for smoother operation.

[@roderickwilliams3988]

Thanks!

[@SavingSavers]

thanks as well!!

[@yanasitta]

I wouldn't use this anywhere near anything related to food serving or preparation.

[@rontribula4005]

A quick squirt of it on my minnow when I’m jigging for walleye really does seem to attract the fish.Especially when Ice fishing because I think the smell spreads in all directions of your bait rather then when your vertical jigging in a boat while slowly using a electric trolling motor and covering a lot of area.

[@lynneclark5313]

Great! I wonder if WD_40 on the car windshield would stop it from fogging up during the Winter. I'll bet the WD-40 on car locks would keep them unfrozen during Winter [for those who still use keys 🙂]. Would spraying the blades of a fan stop the dust from sticking? I'm going to try that the next time I clean my box fan.

[@Bassingal]

Car lock full of dirt? No thanks!

[@gregriddle1103]

They purposely forget to mention it smell is definitely not desirable at all and tends to linger for awhile!

[@TheKentuckylady717]

YES that is one thing I hate about it too....maybe use a mask....I will try that....

[@ellensears]

It's not that bad

[@Marcia-t7x]

I love the smell.

[@TheKentuckylady717]

I subscribed too, I knew some of this , not all of them thanks for sharing..... keep finding out news ones.....love it..... but I'm thinking if you had wood floors wouldn't it make the floors slick if you were working on one certain spot.?? Or ok to clean it off with something so that area doesn't get slick..... I keep a can of this and use it on squeaky door hinges, anxious to try it to remove black markers on things.....🤣Good job THANKS

[@Jean-JacquesZenger]

Yes it smells because it is a petroleum chemical like paint thinner or gasoline. It evaporates with time.

[@faithhenderson1446]

Thank you for sharing

[@SavingSavers]

You're very welcome!

[@samuelpope7798]

It really works well on roaches if you hold a lit cigarette lighter in front of it while you spray.

[@Gregory-wy2ro]

😂 thinking outside the box is how it was made, I'm guessing you 're baby boomer

[@yamil.343]

😂😂

[@niteshades_promise]

​@@Gregory-wy2roi thought all the baby boomers died of old age? 🍻

[@lorih6956]

I use wd40 ALWAYS on my vehicle when going through car washes 🤘

[@SavingSavers]

Good stuff!

[@MariaEstrada-yz2oo]

How about cleaning the oven?

[@brianh.3468]

Don’t put it on your bike chain, use chain oil, definitely don’t use on your grill, it’s toxic and you may not get it all off. Don’t use to get mud off fenders as you may spray your brakes accidentally 😳!

[@niteshades_promise]

it cleans n lubes bicycle chains without much time or effort. all i use. now a motorcycle thats different. 🍻

[@niteshades_promise]

i baught a rusty truck, my mechanic sprayed the entire underneath and bed n fenders to stop the rot. worked wonders. helped the brakes lines not break. 🍻

[@yamilhapalma8244]

To me Wd40 and Vinegar are miraculous in my house which I been laughed at from my children...

[@pixie3760]

I had 3 girls, all with long hair. WD 40 in our place was fabulous for getting chewing gum out of their hair.

[@sheilagiddens7114]

How about carpet stains will it remove it

[@terraloft]

Theres an "off-season" for grilling?

[@gpilsitz1783]

TX, Once I BBQ'd as a tornado 🌪 was coming. I saw a poor cat go flying horizontally in front of me, but I was almost done anyway! 😊

[@michellepankaskie4623]

I grill when it's snowing.

[@niteshades_promise]

​@gpilsitz1783 could of caught it and had more bbq😂 🍻

[@niteshades_promise]

every season is grilling season. 🍻

[@MundiTaurus]

NEVER use it on batteries! _NEVER!_

[@johnnycrash3270]

pour Coca-Cola on battery terminals to clean then coat with Vaseline

[@edp4708]

What happened to WD-1 thru WD-39?

[@bethczer4412]

40 is the final number in how many tries it took to get it right!

[@Janicealcock]

If you really want to know Google has the history of WD-40.

[@SavingSavers]

Clever, right?

[@joshmoore-zd7pu]

you forgot all bearings

[@Bertsncrafts]

Hello

[@josephpatrickmasters4047]

I used WD-40 on my doc Marten leather work shoes within one month the leather came apart from the seam ruined the shoes !

[@SavingSavers]

Hmm... interesting! I always test it out on a small area first.

[@ritam349]

Only need a Little 😊 😮

[@61espo]

WD-40 also attracts Dust and Dirt….

[@Peachfaerie]

Does this work in garden for pests & slugs, snails?

[@Jean-JacquesZenger]

No. It has chemicals that could kill plants.

[@carmenmajor6432]

Only thing is. It smells

[@MrJACK695]

NO. YOU SMELL. IT STINKS.

[@niteshades_promise]

smells kind of good? nostalgia i guess? 🍻

[@johnnail532]

Never put wd40 on gun internals- it prevents oil and grease from doing the their job as it will repeal oil as much as it does water- this will hurt your firearm- wd40 doesn’t properly lubricate

[@Jean-JacquesZenger]

Wrong. It's a solvent and a lubricant. You are rite that it is not a gun lubricant.

When did cockroaches begin flying?

[@whitneybalmes7993]

In Arizona, it's the large sewer roaches that fly! The first time I witnessed that, I just couldn't believe it! Lol Those things are gross enough just crawling around as fast and they do and then to find out they have an additional form of travel..... well that was enough for me! Yuck!

[@Jean-JacquesZenger]

Certain species.

[@brianh.3468]

In Florida they fly!

[@dankmazzi2376]

The flyers are called palmetto and sound like a dive bomber...scared yet 😂😮

I Have Been Doing Commercial , Business and Residential Cleaning Services for Many Years and Most of Everything Cleaned, Involved the use of This Remarkable and Ultra Useful Product. Try This Product as a Quick, and Efficient Restoration Enhancer on Antiques, Wooden Finished Furniture, Appliances and other. As of the Last 7 or so Years, I Recently Started Auto Detailing and as I am Very OCD, I Began Experimenting with My OWN SUVs and Trucks w Outstanding Results on Both Exterior and Interior surfaces. Starting with a Panel of Truck Exterior, I apply a Good Spray Glass Cleaner, and Directly over That, an Even Light Coat of WD - 40. Using a Clean Cloth, Folded Evenly, Wipe the Panel in Whatever Pattern works For You, (I Prefer Straight Across Horizontal Left to Right Wiping Motions) Resulting in a Cleanliness and Outstanding Showroom Finish that Actually Protects the Paint, and Beads up when The Weather becomes Rainy. Using My Favorite Product Size is the Large, Wide Nozzle Container Choice and This is The Unit I Buy as Staple. Try This Can Dispenser Unit to Under Carriage Treat your Vehicles for All type of Weather Conditions for Added Auto Safety Protection against RUST and Salt Corrosion. To Restore a Tiled Shower Unit in Your Home, utilize the Wide Nozzle Container Sprayer and Dispenser an Even, Light Amount over Tile Surfaces. With a Micro Fiber Cloth, Folded Evenly, Start in Whichever Directorial Wipe Pattern Works a for You, Again, choice of My Method is Always the Same for Any Task at Hand, Horizontal, Straight Left to Right and You Will Now Have a Clean, Mold / Mildew Resistant Shower Face, But the WD - 40 Penetrates into Grout, Providing a Protective Barrier from Soap Accumulation. Now, Although it Was Not My Grandfather who Taught Using This MOST BENEFICIAL and Useful Products Endless Application Persona, But My Father, Whom I Learned Most of the Products Applicational USES From. My Trade Secret in My Commercial Cleaning Services is This Product of WONDERMENT. I have In Truth NEVER Not Had Anything But High Positive Remarks, and Word of Mouth Referrals by Each Work Contract Recipient I Have Ever Done Work For, and Literally Have Been Referred by those Customers as The Absolute BEST Results as Outstanding where The Job, upon Completion Has Such an Approval Rating That I Remain in "SHOCK" For Simply Having Never Received even ONE Negative Remark. Here, I Truly am Not Giving Myself a Pat on The Back, Nor trying To Say, " Hey, Look at Me" And Bragg over The Neverending Complimenting I Have Received, and Bringing WD - 40 Right Directly In Its So Well Deserved Advertising "Biography" or SPOTLIGHT as a Renewal And Helpful Gift Back with Accolades To The Brilliant Manufacturing of This Product. The SUCCESS That I Have Had in My Cleaning Services and The Time Saving EFFICIENCY that is This Product s High most Seller, That The Manufacturing Company Only Need to Create a Reference Documentary about the History, and Practical Uses OF a TRUE Piece of AMERICANA and The Brilliance shown in What I Call a GOLDEN RATIO of The All-time Most Useful Product Purchase Anyone Could Buy that Actually Does SO MANY APPLICATIONS, IT Outperforms Itself. TO The Manufacturer of This GENIUS TOOL, A HEARTFELT THANK YOU because, I Could not Have HAD THE SUCCESS THAT I HAVE HAD WITHOUT YOU. "HOW DID YOU ACCOMPLISH THIS JOB'? It is ONLY YOU, And This IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST CLEANING Work services I Have EVER SEEN"! -response to Contractor is Absolute "TRADE SECRETS"

[@montanawarren8462]

If you already have mold in the grout does do you remove that first or apply the WD-40 and then remove it????
