10 ways to use WD-40 around the home

6. Boots and shoes

If you live in an area that gets a lot of moisture, you know the importance of waterproof footwear. But buying boots or shoes that are already waterproofed might not always be in your budget. Along with its many other talents, a coating of WD-40 can also provide a barrier between your boots and the water that wants to ruin them. Watch this in action here.

7. Rings that are stuck

As kids, we all tried on our parents’ wedding rings at one time or another. And many of us then experienced the fear of being unable to take the ring back off. Now, you could use butter or vegetable oil to help remove a stuck ring, but even those slippery items don’t always work. Next time, give your finger a quick shot of WD-40 and that ring will slide right off. See this in action here.

8. Wasp nests

Summertime means dealing with bugs. One of the worst bugs to run across is the wasp. A can of WD-40 can help you make your home wasp-proof. When spring rolls around, spray WD-40 under the eaves, which will chase away any wasps who want to build their nests there.

9. Snow

WD-40 is great to have around as winter approaches. You can spray it on windows and car doors to prevent snow from building up and covering them. You can also coat your shovel with it, which will keep snow from sticking to the shovel and weighing it down while you try to scoop out the driveway.

10. Toilet bowls

There seems to be an unspoken rule that every cleaning-related article has to contain at least one tip about a new way to clean your toilet. Well, this article is going to follow that trend. If you spray WD-40 into your toilet bowl and then scrub it with your toilet brush it will easily clean all the grime away. Watch this in action here.
