Multi-Purpose, Miraculous WD-40®
The manufacturers of WD-40 ®have conceived of multiple uses for the spray-on product, which demonstrates just how versatile this popular potion can be. You would expect it to lubricate things in your house and your garage — from squeaky hinges and gardening clippers to zippers and stubborn locks. But did you know it can clean rust off of wire shelves, sled runners, nuts and bolts?
Did you know that it can keep grass from sticking to lawnmower blades, removes baked-on bird droppings from your car, and tree sap from a variety of surfaces? And you know that sticky residue that felt pads on your chair bottoms can leave on hardwood floors? Yep. WD40® will remove that gunk, too. For more (like a few THOUSAND more) applications, check out these amazing uses for the miracle juice on the WD-40® website.
Bring on the Foil!
Bright Side will show you 15 uses for aluminum foil, beyond lining a cookie sheet or covering leftovers. Some are no-brainers, like using a few pliable sheets and bits to lengthen the life of batteries or make a DIY funnel. But some, are flat-out brilliant because you can bend, crunch and twist foil in dozens of different ways.
To slide big heavy furniture around a room when you want to rearrange or redecorate (or even deep clean), put small pieces of foil, shiny side up, under the legs. The dull side is actually more slippery and will help you scoot big pieces around the room.
It’s one thing to read about hacks, it’s something completely different to watch hacks demonstrated in real time – or even in 2X real time. Watch 5-Minute Crafts seal a bag of what we think are lentils using foil and a hot iron; steam vegetables over a skillet of boiling water and slow down the ripening process of bananas! It’s the stuff of miracles, too!
