I use WD40 for heaps of things. It is brilliant at removing oil stains from concrete drives – just spray on and hose off immediately. Also polish your stainless steel fridge and shower cabinet with it. Stops water marks on your shower and fingermarks on your fridge door.

    Gaynor from Paraparaumu says she has read it may in fact make stains worse, and instead suggests baking soda and vinegar as a cheap and non-toxic cleaning agent for brass, silver, gold, bronze, enamel, stainless steel. Also toilets, glass, fibre glass and oil on concrete. [We have had a quick look at the WD40 website and it does recommend it for a number of cleaning purposes. However, baking soda and vinegar would be cheaper. – Oily Rag Ed’]

    WD40 is a solvent and should be used carefully – and not in enclosed spaces. Baking soda and vinegar is a safer, greener option. – T, Tauranga.

    WD40 works on pine sap and may work on banana sap too. WD40 may stain too so be careful and patch test with these remedies first. I remove WD40 stains with good old Sunlight soap. – Thrifty, Hamilton
