  • Cut through stubborn soap scum on fiberglass shower doors
  • Prevent mildew from forming
  • Stop squeaks on cabinet hinges and drawer slides
  • Prevent rust and corrosion from forming on medicine cabinets

My local thrift store tends to use a wax pencil to price their items. WD-40 removes the wax pencil with ease.

I've found that the easiest and best mark remover is Mr. Clean's "Majic Eraser". It works like a charm.

When you are painting, or any type of mechanical work, or working with dirt, anything that will leave your hands with a substance that is hard to take off. This will work.

When chopping wood all day, WD40 removes pine gum and sap from axe handles and prevents getting blisters or callouses. Also works fine on wheel barrow handles.

I see no references to WD40 as a way to fix faucets and shower valves that get stuck after buildup of mineral deposits.

Is there a danger of linkage after use of WD40 for this type of application???
