Why My Nana Always Stocks Up on WD-40 in Winter — And Why You Might Too

 

Why It Works

WD-40 is designed to displace moisture and protect surfaces from buildup. When applied to the inside of a toilet bowl, it forms a thin, slick barrier that stops mineral deposits from clinging. This makes flushing more effective and reduces the need for abrasive cleaners.

How to Use This Trick Safely

  1. Spray a small amount of WD-40 inside the toilet bowl, focusing on areas prone to staining.

  2. Allow it to sit for a few minutes.

  3. Use a toilet brush for a light scrub and flush.

Important: Always clean and flush thoroughly to remove any residue. This method is safe for porcelain but should be used in moderation.

Final Thoughts

This simple trick proves that sometimes, the best household solutions come from thinking outside the box. WD-40 isn’t just for the garage — in my nana’s hands, it’s also a winter cleaning hero.
