Gum in Your Hair
I think “gum in a child’s hair” is one of a parent’s biggest nightmares. Starting today you no longer have to grab the scissors or the peanut butter. Gum stuck in hair is a common problem, especially for children who love chewing gum. It can be a frustrating and challenging situation for parents, as it seems difficult to remove the gum without damaging the hair. Luckily, WD-40 comes to the rescue! All you need to do is spray a small amount of WD-40 onto your child’s hair and gently comb it out using a comb or your fingers. The WD-40 will loosen the gum, making it easier to remove without any pain or damage.
Just remember to perform this task outdoors or in a well-ventilated space to avoid inhaling any fumes. However, it’s crucial to prioritize safety and protect your child’s eyes. WD-40 can be irritating if it comes into contact with the eyes, so make sure to cover them with a towel or cloth before you start. Safety always comes first! So, the next time your child ends up with gum in their hair, there’s no need to panic.
Crayon Masterpieces on the Wall
Every (grand)parent, nanny, or babysitter can relate to this common scenario: your (grand)child has just transformed your pristine white walls, cabinets, or table into their own personal masterpiece, channeling their inner Rembrandt. Panic sets in as you wonder how to tackle this artistic creation. But fear not, there’s a simple solution! Now, let’s turn our attention to the colorful canvas. Reach for your trusty WD-40 spray bottle, which can be found in your handy cabinet.
Gently apply a small amount of WD-40 onto the artwork, allowing it to soak for a minute or two. This will help loosen the paint and make it easier to remove. After the brief waiting period, take a clean cloth and carefully wipe away the paint, being mindful not to scrub too vigorously. The combination of WD-40 and a gentle touch should lift the unwanted artwork off the surface, revealing its former glory.
