WD-40 helps – spray the inside of your shoes, leave for a few minutes, and wipe off the excess liquid. The material will be softer and the shoes more comfortable.
But that's not all! WD-40 also works as a water-repellent coating - spray the outside of your shoes and protect them from rain, mud and puddles. Goodbye wet socks and soaked shoes!

Spring also means more bird 'messages' on your car. Bird poop stains can be a real nightmare, especially if you don't remove them in time. Spray WD-40 on the stain, leave it for a few seconds, and simply wipe it off. As a bonus, the protective layer will help prevent new messes!
