I am a professional carpet cleaner. Using WD 40 on normal stains isn't going to work but we use it on oil or grease stains all the time with GREAT results! I had a customer call me after she just had a brand new trailer home set up and one of the movers brought in grease on their boots. Brand new carpet with lots of grease stains on it. We got them out with a scrub and WD40 and it looked brand new again :) Good luck!

I noticed that for many of your experiments you sprayed on WD40 and immediately wiped it, so of course it didn’t work. I can tell you that tape WILL come off surfaces, such as a fridge, if you give it time to soak in. Also, sometimes you need to use a hard edged tool for lifting paint etc, rather than just a cloth. Would have loved to see you try to clean a toilet with WD40. You said why bother when there are other cleaners. However, it might be a good substitute if you run out, and if it does work it would save you having to buy toilet cleaning products.

This use for WD40 is a bit like feeding strawberries to pigs! Kerosene is a regular product used in industry when machining aluminium, as it stops material sticking to cutting tools and cools the tool and the job. However, not many of us keep a supply of kerosene. I flatly refuse to believe that any handyman worth the title, doesn’t have a can or two of WD40 in his tool kit. WD40, etc is the perfect substitute for kero and, being in a pressure pack, is far more convenient to use. So next time you’re drilling or cutting aluminium, give the drill bit or hacksaw blade a regular squirt of WD40.

I don't understand even trying with vinyl to test whether it can clean grout. They're completely different materials that have nothing to do with each other except that we've made vinyl flooring that looks like tiles & grout. Also, with the paint on wood - I'd have liked to see an attempt to remove the non-treated side by peeling prior to applying the WD-40.

The rust removal WD-40 can do is useful for things like cleaning off rusty bolts (on a car, e.g.) as you're working with them. Not only does it help get them unstuck, it cleans off some of the surface rust to make reassembly easier. (In my experience, anyway.) I wouldn't expect it to remove that much rust. Another use for WD-40 that fits with its original water-displacing function is preventing door locks and moving parts from freezing in winter! Now we have fobs to unlock our car doors, but I used to use the red straw to spray WD-40 into the keyhole every winter (as needed), and apply it to latches & other parts, like the handle, that might freeze shut.

Beingnthat WD40 is a lubricant, it's likely to work on whatever lubricant ps work on. It's easy to apply. And letting it penetrate whike using the right tools with it, it works on some of the issues whike not others. Grout is different from vinyl and if just using it grout without spillover onto tile will probably keep your floor from being slipery. So youd really have to test it on grout to confirm or deny. Also, fir stains, it always depends on the type of stain, the surface where the stain is, and the necessary tools and applications including the number if them to test the accuracy of the claims. But thanks for this. It's always great to find people who vet the claims of any product.

It’s not meant to clean stainless steel. It’s meant to restore stainless steel. First clean your refrigerator off completely with Windex let it dry and then apply the WD-40 to the stainless steel. It will keep any little oxidation rust spots from developing and also will keep fingerprints and food from sticking to the surface. So clean your fridge, then use the WD-40. It works flawlessly.

If stung by fire ants, just spray some WD40 on it and the itch and sting will be gone for three days. If it starts itching again, give it another short spray.

it looks like WD-40 is obsolete and they try to sell some more before dying. it's a Water Dispersant - 40th recepe. i guess it's not really the 40th but sounds better. spray it on your fishing bait.

When you look at how much shelf space is given to WD40 and different SKU’s that are carried at the big box stores I would guess their sales are strong. Just a theory on my part though 😊

If you're going to try WD-40 for carpet stains, spray it on, gently rub it in with gloved fingers, leave it for at least 10 minutes, then spray it generously with water from a mister bottle, and rub it with a clean white cotton cloth. Or buy some proper carpet cleaner, and follow the instructions! Lol

The idea isn't to clean the toilet with WD-40. It is to spray a clean, dry bowl and it keeps things from sticking. You could have done that as a demonstration. Sprayed the bowl, then dropped a deuce, flushed, and showed the results. Not very comprehensive.
