Genius Ways to Use WD-40

If you have a creative streak and like to indulge in a day of crafting every now and then, it’s probably safe to assume that you’ve come across sticky scissors once or twice. Whether you cut something with glue on it or use your scissors to open a mid-craft frozen treat, your scissors can easily get all gunked up.

You can keep them clean and residue-free by polishing them with WD-40. You can apply WD-40 to the blades to remove sticky residues and to the grooves of the handles if they are hard to open and close. It would also be handy to keep the WD-40 in the kitchen area for a quick remedy to your squeaky tools.

Sick and tired of slugs and snails ruining your carefully potted plants No worries! WD-40 can help (and no, we aren’t suggesting that you kill the creatures with it). They just help to keep them at bay and so they don’t destroy the layout of your garden or your healthy plants.

See, both slugs and snails – and insects in general- hate the smell of WD-40. So, all you have to do to keep them away is decorate your plant’s pot with it. Feel free to be as elaborate or minimalist as you choose – there’s no limit as to how much of the stuff you should use. Just make sure that you can stand the smell before plastering it on!
