Introduction:
When winter rolls in, most people focus on staying warm and safe with firewood, blankets, or salt. But my nana has a surprising cold-weather go-to: WD-40. Lined up like soup cans in her garage, this everyday product becomes her secret tool for solving unexpected seasonal problems. From frozen locks to squeaky hinges, here’s how WD-40 becomes an unsung winter hero.
Ingredients (Supplies Needed):
1 can of WD-40
Soft cloth or paper towels
Gloves (optional, for sensitive skin)
Zip-lock bags (for certain uses)
Cotton swabs (for tight spaces)
Instructions (Winter Uses for WD-40):
Prevent Frozen Car Locks: Spray a small amount into the keyhole to keep ice from forming.
Stop Ice Buildup on Shovels: Coat the blade of your snow shovel so snow slides right off.
Loosen Stiff Door Hinges: Apply to door or garage hinges that tighten in the cold.
