WD-40 275G WD-40 Multi-Use Product 275g Aerosol with Smart Straw, Lubricant and Water Displacement Spray

This is the 275g can of WD-40 Multi-Use Product with the Smart Straw. It's the familiar blue and yellow can that most workshops and homes keep within reach for squeaks, sticky mechanisms, moisture and light rust. The Smart Straw is built into the nozzle, so you flip it up for a precise jet into tight spots or fold it down for a wider spray, and there's no loose straw to lose.

Using WD-40 around appliances and the workshop

WD-40 is designed to displace moisture, loosen stuck or rusted parts, and leave a thin protective film on metal. Around appliances that makes it handy for freeing seized screws and fittings during a repair, quietening squeaky metal hinges and runners, and cleaning sticky residue from metal surfaces. It isn't a substitute for proper grease in bearings or gearboxes, and it shouldn't go on electrical parts while anything is live. On rubber seals and plastics, test a small hidden area first.

Safe use tips

Before spraying anything inside an appliance, switch it off at the wall and unplug it. The aerosol is flammable, so keep it away from flames, hot elements and burners, and only use it in a well ventilated space. Wipe away any excess, as an oily film collects dust. Don't spray it near food surfaces, and store the can out of reach of children and away from heat.

Questions about this part

Is WD-40 good for lubricating washing machine or dryer bearings?

It's better suited to freeing stuck parts and light lubrication than to long-term bearing lubrication. Sealed bearings should be replaced when they fail, and moving parts that need grease should get the lubricant the appliance maker specifies.
