A little tip! Please pin this by the way! Use the Silicone WD-40 so that it will even wipe water off the glass even better and make the Wipers last longer, normal WD-40 will wear off the wipers over time but Silicone WD-40 will keep its place! 😊
Just going to add to this. The silicone spray is actually a lubricant, regular wd-40 is more just a penetrating oil. When the silicone spray dries, it leaves a bit of silicone behind, which will actually lubricate where the regular will just evaporate eventually.
@@melaniejaramillo6534 Theres a reason why I commented on this exact video... some people don't have silicone wiper blades, I personally have silicone wiper blades but some people don't, and so for example, years ago when I didn't use silicone blades, I used silicone wd-40.
The thing you’re removing (the black residue you call “dirty”) is actually the graphite coating which is there to provide lubrication and prevent squeaking. So not a very good idea.
I came to this video cause i was wondering if that was the correct method to cleaning wiper blades and reading this comment stood out cause i just got a new car 3wks ago and is time to clean it and didn’t know if that black residue is meant to come off or stay on the wipers. How are we supposed to clean our wiper blades then?
while WD40 can be used to clean wiper blades, it is essential to use it with caution. WD40 can remove the graphite and/or teflon layer from the blade, which can affect its performance and cause it to wear out more quickly.
The silicone version works perfectly to get that squeaky sound that starts up go away from a screen door hinges. And it's best to apply it before the first frost too and as needed during winter, on days it gets to 40 or higher.
WD 40 also removes grease stains from carpet! I sprayed it and immediately went over it with the rug doctor and it was gone! I had tried everything on that stain!
WD40 was made by a chemical company in San Diego, funded by the space program, as a rust deterrent to keep rust from forming on the rockets upon re-entry into the earths atmosphere. Its essential purpose is a rust remover and a bonus that works well for so many other applications. This is why for the test cleaning on the windshield wiper blades works so well. Grateful for your channel & awesome tips! -JLo
The US company did not invent it though. 😉 They produced the 40th formula, but started of with a formula that was used in Germany and "traveled" to the USA after 1945 together with other technical inventions, especially concerning rocket science.
@@TiredMommaUse pumice! Look for a pumice scrubber or pumice stick that's designed for tile and porcelain. But you may just try out with the usual pumice stone you also may use for the body. As it's okay for human skin, it's probably also okay for ceramics. I used it in my apartment when I moved in against hardened old urine stains in the toilet. So I also tried it out on the rust stains next to the metal parts and it worked.
@@TiredMommaYou can use WD40 on ceramics before cleaning. It loosens calcium, I mean the white stuff that stays on ceramics and glass from water. So you first spray it in the toilet, shower or bathtub, let it sit there for at least three hours or over night, then clean the ceramic, finally spray slightly again in the certain places where the white stuff was before and let it rest for 1 hour before using the ceramic. This helps prevent the white residue from building up and I assume also urine stone.
I just leave the stickers, I like to collect them. We used to camp in central Wisconsin every year and we would keep them on our windows and it was cool seeing ones from before I remember going there.
The window will not have the same film the blade will have because the sticky carrier solvent in WD40 (petroleum) will penetrate into the soft rubber, any excess will be taken up with a towel, and the glass is ultimately left unaffected. Hope this helps
Be better to use some belt dressing or rubber rejuvenator instead, you can't use wd40 on your serpentine belt for a reason and guess what your serpentine belt is made of... you guess it, RUBBER! This dood is a goober!
Yeah this is not recommended its doesn't even make sense and it will damage your rubber , just stick to basics clean it with just some hand soap or car soap nothing too aggressive and always moisturize the rubber or plastics after cleaning you can use those car products or to be more simple just use some baby lotion !
What can I do to remove old hard acrylic paint from tiles? Somebody must have spilt wall paint and didn't clean it. 😮 Meanwhile it's at least 4 years old. 😢
I paint with acrylics doing fluid art and have got paint on my walls, tile flooring, appliances, and more. I have 3 things I have done that work. 1) If it’s on tile, you can try heating it up with a blow dryer and then scrap it up, 2) you can make a paper towel wet with vinegar and fold it or make into a ball over the paint and let it sit for at least two hours then scrap up, and 3) us hand sanitizer and squirt enough to cover it and let it set for two hours and either scrap it up or it will wipe right up without any mess or marks depending on the size. Hope any one of these ideas helps. -JLo
