WD-40 – a small spray with a big effect. How can you make the most of it?

WD-40 it is not only a faithful companion of fathers in the workshop, but also a little miracle formula that solves everyday problems. If you thought this mysterious liquid was only useful for squeaky doors, it's time to expand your horizons. Check out three awesome ways you can take advantage of the versatility of WD-40 this year.

1. Clean and protect your shoes

Have you just invested in some shiny white sneakers or trendy leather ankle boots? Great! But the weather is no joke in winter. Mud, wetness and road salt can quickly destroy your footwear. This is where WD-40 comes in!

Apply the spray to a soft cloth and gently wipe the shoes with it. WD-40 acts as a protective layer that repels water and dirt. White sneakers will look like new again, and leather shoes will be protected from stains. And don't worry, it won't turn your shoes into sliding skates!

Pro tip: WD-40 is also an excellent remover of stains left by rubber soles. Forget about long scrubbing!

2. Get rid of stickers and sticky residue

If removing stickers annoys you more than Aunt Silva with her holiday questions, WD-40 is your salvation. Old labels on glasses, stubborn residue on window frames, or that nasty duct tape that accidentally stuck to your new kitchen counter are all a little snack for WD-40.

Simply spray the sticky area, wait a minute or two and gently wipe with a soft cloth. The residue will melt like a snowflake in the palm of your hand. WD-40 breaks down the glue without damaging the surface.

Interesting fact: This trick also works perfectly on children's toys, which are mysteriously impregnated with glue of unknown origin. (Because you know how "hard working" little artists are!)

3. Refresh the locks and beat the frost

There is nothing worse than that moment when a frozen lock prevents access to your apartment or car. WD-40 is not only a "creaking savior", but also a real miracle liquid for cold days. Spray some WD-40 into the lock before the temperatures drop below freezing. This will prevent the moisture from turning to ice and blocking the lock.

Even better news? If the lock is already jamming or freezing, WD-40 will quickly fix the problem. For full effect, use the included tube to precisely spray the inside of the mechanism. No more morning dramas and calling locksmiths!

Extra trick: WD-40 is also great for maintaining skates, skis, and even zippers on winter jackets. No more getting stuck at the most inopportune moment!

A miracle in a can that will not let you down

WD-40 is proof that life's best tools often come in small packages. This versatile spray can be your best friend for everyday problems – from maintaining your footwear to overcoming winter ailments. Why wait for the New Year to make your life easier? Spray smart, spray with WD-40!
