You're not using enough of it. You should be putting several

your wife should put a 1/4 cup or so in the washing machine to get
the grass stains out of the kids' pants, and also it's great for
polishing silverware.


And, evidently, if used with sufficient caution, can substitute for charcoal
starter fluid or as a bad-neighbor removal tool.


Here's why I buy it by the gallon:

We all know you really only need 2 tools -

If it's supposed to move but it doesn't, use WD-40.
It it not supposed to move but it does, use duct tape.

Now, how many of you know that WD-40 is great for removing the residue
that duct tape leaves behind when you finally get around to fixing all
those things you taped up?
