The Secret Garden
We're guessing most people don't have a water fountain in their backyard, but this goes out to the few that do! Due to consistent contact with water, mildew on water fountains is to be expected - it can even add an extra touch.

Mildew? More Like Mil-don't!
When buying furniture for your backyard, you're probably going to go with a rustic finish, right? There's something about wooden furniture that pulls the outdoor space together. While picking out furniture, one thought may come to mind - wood in the back yard may cause mildew.
![Mildew? More Like Mil-don't! Mildew? More Like Mil-don't! | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_cea936ea6c3609aa6315bdef11bd4f4e/shutterstock_1035114409-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-furniture-for-your-backyard.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)

Unclogging Those Sinks
The sink is something we use every day, so it is pretty inevitable that it gets clogged every so often. Dealing with a clogged drain can be frustrating, especially when you have dozens of other things on your mind. Next time you have a clogged drain, it doesn't need to be as annoying as you think.

Toy squeaks can be taken care of (and silenced) with a bit of WD-40, and your headache will magically disappear!
Prevent Wicker Creaks
Nothing says spring and summer quite like wicker furniture. The only drawback is that wicker tends to make creaking sounds when you sit on it.
![Prevent Wicker Creaks Prevent Wicker Creaks | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_bcf6814d55ff5f7f7963d1b839b39fb3/shutterstock_1228982704-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-wicker-chair.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)

The Best We Ever Saw
Saws are something everyone should have in their shed - they're useful, versatile, and, to be honest, just plain necessary. That being said, they do tend to get dirty pretty quickly.

Wearing light-colored clothing automatically turns you into a magnet for spills and stains. The same goes for bumps and bruises - when we wear white, we're bound to fall and trip, causing blood-stains on our favorite white clothes.

Fridgin' Cool
Most of the time, our fridge is in perfect condition - like something out of a refrigerator commercial. Other times, not so much, we place one item where it's not supposed to be, and all of a sudden, things get out of hand.

Separate Stuck Legos
You can't go wrong with Legos; everyone loves them! It seems like they've been around forever, and yet the manufacturers still haven't figured out a way to make Legos that don't get stuck together. When they do, they're almost impossible to separate.

Leather couches have many pros - they are much harder to stain, and they're durable for much longer. They also require a bit of maintenance to keep them in excellent condition and looking new.

No More Water Marks
Glass shower doors are a chic addition to any bathroom. The only inconvenience is that certain stains accumulate pretty quickly on the glass surface, the same stains that seem to never come out, despite vigorous efforts!
![No More Water Marks No More Water Marks | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_a9837c8fb4918c4f64c576a5ecf523a3/shutterstock_1693942330-Dry-water-stains-on-the-glass-wall-in-the-bathroom-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
You can clean the glass doors with WD-40 to prevent those stubborn stains from creeping up on you.
How to Be Cool
In our opinion, the air conditioner may be one of the most practical inventions of modern times. Without it, we’d without a doubt, suffer through every summer. That being said, before installing a new A/C unit, make sure you clean it well with WD-40!
![How to Be Cool How to Be Cool | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_16e3d39506df248d826fb1e0c17527de/shutterstock_1204818136-woman-or-technician-using-foam-cleaner-to-wash-dirty-cooling-coil-of-ac-indoor-unit-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)

Clear up the clog by spraying some WD-40 and enjoy that shower like it was meant to be enjoyed. You deserve it!
Bumper to Bumper
We’ve all placed a bumper sticker on our car that we grew to regret..it's nothing to be embarrassed about, in all honestly, it happens to the best of us! When you realize that the bumper sticker you got your junior year of high school may not be appropriate anymore, let WD-40 guide you towards a brighter future (and bumper.)

Use the spray to help you peel off the sticker easily and without too much of a hassle!
Key to My Heart
Everyone is bound to have a lock somewhere around the house, from locking storage sheds to keeping our belongings safe at a locker at the gym.

There's nothing worse than trying to open up a rusty lock - especially if what you're trying to reach is valuable. Spraying some WD-40 can help pry it open in a jiffy!
Wood You Mind?
We all have that one friend who, no matter how many times we ask, will not use a coaster. Nothing ruins a beautiful wooden table more than stains especially rings coming from drinks without coasters.
![Wood You Mind? Wood You Mind? | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_683efaae4086e7e852626deb5daf4adf/shutterstock_224243989-Cup-of-hot-black-coffee-on-rough-wooden-table-with-stain-rings-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Luckily, WD-40 can help remove these stains from the table! In the meantime, we're considering not inviting that particular friend over anymore!
The Next Picasso
Though we all want to believe that our kids are the next Picasso, letting them express their inner artist sometimes can often mean you're left with a mess around the house. It may sound cliché - but this usually means crayon drawings on the wall.
![The Next Picasso The Next Picasso | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_b7c71e733d535c21033a9680f70220ec/shutterstock_210949453-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-glove-wiping-children.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
While you may be proud of their accomplishments, we're guessing you're going to be teaching them about drawing on paper. In the meantime, use our favorite WD-40 to help scrub off that masterpiece off the walls!
Save All Your Kisses for Me
Though it may seem like a compliment, getting lipstick stains on your clothing is never fun, especially since it's a tough one to get out!
![Save All Your Kisses for Me Save All Your Kisses for Me | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_c8750b8d561cd9c4a31fe0cd106964cb/GHF0PX-red-lipstick-on-a-shirt-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Before throwing the stained shirt in the wash, you can pre-treat the lipstick smudge with some WD-40 to help get it out a bit faster!
Gum, Gum, Gum!
Have you ever worn a pair of new jeans or shoes, only to realize you've stepped or sat on some gum that someone tossed aside with not a care in the world? It can be aggravating - even nerve-wracking to get out, a wrong move, and you could ruin your pants forever.
![Gum, Gum, Gum! Gum, Gum, Gum! | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_7c49a69f686922e2b3a5dce171f3e44d/2GDJ0FC-Foot-stuck-into-chewing-gum-on-street-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Fear not, WD-40 is here to save the day! Easily remove that pestering piece of gum with a spray or two!
Put a Ring on It
Have you ever tried on someone else's ring and suddenly realized you can't take it off? You do everything in your power to wiggle that ring off, but it seems as though you and the thing are now one. Don't worry!
![Put a Ring on It Put a Ring on It | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_3b77fea5593f51d21fa65ca61bad11a2/C7Y8BW-Ring-being-placed-onto-mans-finger-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
This is the perfect time to whip out some WD-40, spray it on that finger and have the ring easily slip off!
Winged Friends Only!
This may be one of the most impressive WD-40 hacks! Adding a bird feeder to your patio may seem like a splendid idea until you notice the non-bird creatures taking the feed for themselves. We don't want that, now do we?
![Winged Friends Only! Winged Friends Only! | Shutterstock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_02a5602332d4f2666f31d662e7bf19ed/shutterstock_83818600-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-Grey-squirrel.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
If you spray WD-40 on the edges of your bird feeder, it will make it too slippery for non-winged friends to hang on to!
Rock, Paper, Scissors
What's the point of scissors if you can't separate them? Have you ever needed to open up a package, or cut something open only to realize that your scissors are stuck shut? You guessed it!
![Rock, Paper, Scissors Rock, Paper, Scissors | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_ff5db8b866acdd251a157e6e6f789bb2/DP9RH8-businesswoman-holding-scissors-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
WD-40 to the rescue! Apply a little WD-40 between the blades, and you'll be able to unstick the blades apart easily. You'll have useful scissors back in hand in no time at all!
Let it, Snow!
Watching the first snowfall can be a magical experience - when you're indoors, that is. When you need to start your car, it's a lot less of a magical experience. Instead of using salt or fighting the snow, use WD-40 to defrost ice and snow from your car windows quickly.
![Let it, Snow! Let it, Snow! | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_beab5576182ca76b5ac1983a1b5f6ff8/BNWKJP-woman-cleaning-car-windows-from-snow-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
You can even use it to defrost the ice on your windows at home to let that cool winter breeze in...or, not!
Removing Tar From Your Car
As you've probably already noticed, WD-40 is a great cleaning tool to keep around the house. Perhaps the best part is that it manages to clean a wide variety of items and surfaces.
![Removing Tar From Your Car Removing Tar From Your Car | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_892b6e296e2c0662eb36706a7a915717/HT14CA-Man-taking-care-and-cleaning-his-new-car-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
If you're a car owner, you know that every once in a while, you get tar on your car (excuse the rhyme.) Next time you notice tar, spray some WD-40 - it will get the tar out quickly and easily!
Have the Shiniest Shoes
White sneakers have always been in style, and don't seem to be going out of fashion anytime soon. The only problem is...keeping them white and clean.
![Have the Shiniest Shoes Have the Shiniest Shoes | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_33242c48503813e6fbae2e951bd383c5/2A2AGJN-Dirty-white-sneakers-with-brush-and-special-tool-for-cleaning-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Instead of putting them in the washing machine, just pick up your good ol' WD-40. Spraying just a bit will help you quickly wipe away any dirt on your shoes!
Why Don't You Zip Me Up
There's nothing quite like the feeling of pure defeat when the zipper of your favorite jeans or bag get stuck, right? Especially when you're rushing to get somewhere.
![Why Don't You Zip Me Up Why Don't You Zip Me Up | Adobe Stock](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_9f996342dd08de40d7643caa32695007/AdobeStock_70602632-Unzipping-a-bag-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpeg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Next time you require a quick fix, take that WD-40 and spray it on the zipper in question. Trust us; it will loosen it up in no time!
Those Stubborn Glasses
You know that horrible frustration you feel when glasses attach themselves? It's almost impossible to separate them, even a bodybuilder doesn't have the exceptional talent it takes to separate the stubborn crystals.
![Those Stubborn Glasses Those Stubborn Glasses | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_1911814db54b50df7b2ac8d51f50aadc/C85CWE-Cups-and-Glasses-inside-Coffee-Shop-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Don't worry, WD-40 has got your back. Spray some in between the glasses and watch how they magically come apart!
Shiny as Can Be
We've all been there; taken out our most elegant silver in honor of our guests only to realize it isn't as shiny as we remembered it being. Have no fear, WD-40 is here! WD-40 is an excellent choice when you're planning to clean and shine your silverware, jewelry, and other items.
![Shiny as Can Be Shiny as Can Be | Alamy Stock Photo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/187474/rid_0b1d0f6e31da53bf6862130f25ac8947/R11EBA-hand-cleaning-spotty-silverware-with-a-cleaning-product-These-Useful-WD-40-Hacks-Will-Have-You-Feeling-Ahead-of-the-Game-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
All you need to bring out that shine is a simple spray and wipe down. Thanks to its composition, it doesn't harm the texture of the material you are cleaning, leaving a shiny and new look to whatever silver you're polishing.
