Works great on hard water stains on glass shower doors too.

I tried this in my bathroom sink and it worked (white porcelain).  No elbow grease required!  I also did my shower, but found I needed to follow-up with a bit of Dawn dishwashing soap to wash away the residue.  Thank you for the tip!

WD-40 great all purpose item, funny that it rarely gets used for its original intended purpose.

Women only need two things to fix things around the house....Wd-40 and Duct Tape....if it doesn't move and should use WD-40 if it moves and shouldn't use Dect tape.  WD-40 is great for taking road oil off the car when you get it on from a fresh oiled road....

WD-40 is also fantastic for making your large sliding glass doors slide easily!  I have two large sliders and when they start sticking I just spray some WD-40 on the tracks and they are like new again!

Gonna try it for my bathtub and possibly my knees after some more research on that

Thanks for all the great ideas. I def have to try this on my toilet since we have well water. I did try WD 40 on the inside of a stuck shower head but to my surprise it did not work:{

I would like to try this in my dishwasher, but I'm sure it probably isn't food safe.  Does anyone know?

When I was growing up I remember my dad using WD-40 for all kinds of things. He used to say it works for everything!! It was always a family joke - if there is something that won't work or is a problem "use WD-40"!! It really does work for a variety of things!

My husband always seems to be painting some part of the house and gets paint spots or blobs on his clothes.  Although he has some clothes specifically put aside for painting projects he has been known to rub against a freshly painted area after changing clothes.   Since WD-40 worked for CJ's carpet I'm going to try it on his clothes.

Breanna wondered if this worked on a toilet with rust stains. I'm wondering too. Has anybody tried this?

I wonder if this metod would work for a toilet with rust stains?

posted on 11/29/2011 9:07:12 PM

Deb, your idea is good to know too!

What happened that cvaused you to discover this great idea?

WOW! who would of thought!

It’s also good for removing paint from carpets.  My daughter was doing a craft project and decided to spray a board.  When she lifted the board I had a brown paint outline in the middle of my living room carpet (which is gray) I was devastated! I was told that WD-40 should take it out and with a couple of tries it did!  Just spray it on the painted area wait a few minutes then take a dry cloth and rub until the paint is lifted.  Like I stated earlier it make take a couple of treatments but it will do the job.  You cannot tell where the paint was on my carpet.

Super tip!  Ya gotta love WD-40's many uses.  I just sprayed my car doors to prevent them from icing up and being hard, if not impossible, to open during the harsh winter months.

Hey! never thought of this. I'm definately gonna try. Anymore good ideas for WD40 out there? Um, the one about putting it on the knees; is it safe? There are some chemicals in there that worry me. As much as we are trying to get away from all the plastics and stuff, I don't know about that one.

My moms friend swears by this, she puts WD 40 on her bad knees and wraps them with a ace bandage, we told her was she the tin man on The Wizard of Oz , but she swears by it and know of more people who say it works

I'll have to try this. I have well water and the sinks get awful rust stains.

It's also good for removing the sticky residue left when removing labels from non-porous materials.  If you get a new appliance, for instance, they stick a lot of labels on it and sometimes it doesn't all come off.  Spary a little WD-40 on a paper towel and rub it on the residue.  It should come off easily.
