Egghead at Home

Not Afraid · 03-24-2006, 11:56 AM

I really couldn't find a home for this type of thread, so here it lives.

I discovered the wonders of WD40 the other day. I have chairs with rubber feet that leave black residue on my hardwood floors. NOTHING would remove it. Then I happened to see a WD40 pen while standing in the hime depot checkout line. From the package copy, it seemed like it might work, and IT DOES! Put a little on the mark, wait a few minutes and wipe off with a paper towel. It's a miracle!

Who knew! I sure didn't, so I thought I'd share.

Any other miracles I'm missing? (I'm sure there are.)

I've mentioned it before, but it bares repeating...CD Scratch Remober. Stuff's amazing, and one bottle has lasted me for almost a decade.

If I'm remembering correctly, you can also spray WD-40 on oil spots in your driveway and they will wash right off.

Those magic eraser cleaning sponge things will easily clean out even the most disgustingly splattered microwave.

And although I did a word search, apparently it will do nothing for your sphincter. Sorry, scaeagles.
