WD-40 is actually amazing for cleaning a toilet bowl. You no longer need any other expensive, specialty cleaning product. Just spray the product around the toilet bowl and use an old toothbrush to scrub. It should be sparkly clean in no time!

Super sticky glue is an absolute pain to remove from your hands, God forbid you got some on there. Don’t panic, because when you spray some WD-40 directly on your sticky fingers, rub your hands together until they aren’t sticky anymore. And presto!

7. Loosening zippers

No more zippers getting stuck! Spray some WD-40 right on the zipper and try moving it up and down a few times. It should start moving with ease once more!

8. Cleaning stains

Whether it’s a coffee stain, tea stain, carpet stain, WD-40 is your best option for stain removal. After spraying the product, wait a minute or two and then use your regular carpet cleaner or gently scrub with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Continue this until the stain is completely gone!
