Mum transforms her old dusty fly door in a blink of an eye with $7 MIRACLE product!


Have you ever struggled to clean dirt from the nooks and crannies of a meticulously framed door screen? Well members, we’re here to tell you that you can easily bring even the weariest looking screen door back to life thanks to this all-around amazing product!

Australian mum-of-two, Leah, has taken to Facebook to share a miraculous $7 supermarket product that turned her dirty, worn-out fly screen door into what looks to be brand new. After several failed attempts with other much more costly products, Leah stumbled upon WD-40 which easily rid the dust from her old door frame and fly screen.

Tada! Before and after Leah used the WD-40. Image Credit: dailymail.co.uk

She absolutely swooned over the results, posting spectacular before and after pictures to a well-known cleaning Facebook group.

WD-40 was invented back in 1953 by an employee of Rocket Chemical Company, Norman Larsen. It was formulated mainly for use in the aerospace industry. Now, have you ever wondered what the product’s name even actually means? The ‘WD’ stands for ‘water displacement’ and the ‘40’ was added because it took the company 40 tries to come up with a perfect formula. It’s nice to learn a little something every day, eh?

Whilst the WD-40 is most commonly used for protecting metal from rust and corrosion, the product is very versatile and may be used in a multitude of ways! It eliminates grease, fixes squeaky hinges, lubricates just about anything, and even keeps insects away.

Ever since Leah shared her cleaning hack on the Facebook group, thousands of users have shared their own go-to cleaning methods for fly screens.

“I just use a hose, dish liquid, and a broom. Followed by a dry off with a towel. Works well and cleans it.” one person wrote.

“I clean my screen doors with baby wipes, works great!” another commented.

Meanwhile, the rest shared that they too used the versatile product for various things found at home.

“Just did my screen door. Sprayed it onto a microfibre cloth and wiped it onto the door. It took minutes to do both sides and it came up amazing.” a user recommended.

“WD-40 for the most stubborn carpet stains works a treat too” another suggested.

If you’re eager to try the extraordinary product out yourself, it is available for purchase at Bunning’s Warehouse and Woolworths for only $7.

While WD40 may be a great cleaner it’s also an extremely toxic substance with potentially deadly consequences if used incorrectly. I would never use it to clean a screen door which comes into contact with peoples hands. Babies are known to stand at a screen door and bang on it with their hands and pets will press their noses and paws against it, may even lick it. There are many just as good products to clean your screens that are safe around families. A great product for what it was designed for, but to be used with caution and respect for anything else. Always use in a well ventilated area and wear a respirator mask and gloves - it is no good for the human body.
 
I don’t have trouble cleaning the the actual screens, but do have trouble cleaning the security screens. Does anyone have an easy way?
 
Another use for WD40 is to kill cockroaches, especially prevalent in western suburbs of Sydney.
And if you have ants inside, sprinkle some talcum powder where they are coming in or where they are and they will be gone, they hate it. I buy Imperial Leather from Woolworths for about $4 approximately.
