| WRAP UP YOUR TOOLS FOR WINTER WITH WD-40 |
| With nights drawing in and most of the jobs in the garden such as planting, pruning and cutting back all but finished for the year, it is time to take a well earned rest and put your tools away. |
| But if you don't want the expense of buying new next Spring, it is worth giving your tools a spot of tender loving care before consigning them to the back of the shed. |
| One of the best ways of maintaining spades, forks, rakes, hoes, shears and the like is to spray them with WD-40, Britain's number one selling multi-purpose spray. |
| The advice comes from TV favourite 'Handy' Andy Kane. |
| "Good gardening tools are expensive to replace but if you look after them well, then they can last for years. The answer is to use WD-40 which cleans, lubricates and protects against rust and corrosion," says Andy. |
"Follow these simple tips and your garden tools will come out next Spring looking like new."
- Generously spray hinges on pruning shears and secateurs to stop rusting and prevent them from sticking
- Remove all dirt from spades, rakes, forks and hoes with a squirt of WD-40 before wiping them clean. Add a final spray as a protective layer.
- Make sure lawnmowers are free from grass before putting them away by liberally spraying WD-40 onto the blades and wiping with a clean cloth
- Apply WD-40 onto wheelbarrow wheels so they are squeak free when you wheel the barrow out next year and also into the wheelbarrow base to clean and protect against rust
- Prevent any rust forming on electric or moving blades by liberally spraying with WD-40. Spray it on your hedge trimmer, strimmer, leaf blower and de-mosser for perfect results.
