Monday is a good day to clean...

With WD-40

Who knew it wasn't just for stubborn hinges....

Separate stuck glassware

Two glasses that are stuck inside one another will separate with ease if you squirt some WD-40 on them. Wait a few seconds for it to work its way between the glasses, and then gently pull the glasses apart. Remember to wash the glasses thoroughly before you use them.

Keep puppies from chewing

To keep puppies from chewing on telephone and television cable lines, spray WD-40 on the lines. The pups hate the smell.

Remove chewing gum from hair

Simply spray the gummed-up hair with WD-40, and the gum will comb out with ease. Make sure you're in a well-ventilated area when you spray and take care to avoid contact with eyes.

Pretreat blood and other stains

Pretreat bloodstains with WD-40. Spray directly on the stains, wait a couple of minutes and then launder as usual. The WD-40 will help lift the stain so that it will come out easily in the wash. Try to get to the stain while it is still fresh, because once it sets, it will be harder to get rid of. Use WD-40 to pretreat other stubborn stains on clothing, such as lipstick, dirt, grease, and ink stains.

Keep shovel or chute snow-free

To stop snow from sticking to your shovel, spray a thin layer of WD-40 on the shovel blade, and the snow will slide right off. If you have a snow thrower, spray WD-40 on the inside of the chute so snow won't stick and clog the chute.
