My tip is to make the most out of your WD-40! The stuff has more than 2000 uses. I use mine for shining up my cupboards by spraying it on and wiping it off, for shining up my shower and bathtub (just make sure not to spray it on the floor of the shower), and it's especially good for wiping fingerprints off of furniture (just to be safe, spray the WD-40 on a cloth).

The Many Uses of WD-40
Used as a pre-treater, WD-40 also removes blood and ink stains from clothing. Just spray on a little, let set for a minute or so, wash.
I use it on the fragile cooling grid of my air-conditioners. Using a toothbrush sprayed with WD CAREFULLY brush onto vent. It helps remove dust not caught by the filter and helps stop new dust from getting to the cooling coils. (07/02/2005)
