Home Remedy: WD-40 Has Lots of Uses for Your Home

The formula for WD-40 was created by three technicians that worked at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. The technicians were trying to compile a water displacement compound for a project they were assigned. While you will never know what the ingredients are in WD-40 due to it being highly safeguarded, there is not anything in the recipe that is harmful.

They were able to find success for the water displacement compound on their 40th try. This is how the name for WD-40 came to be. Once they had the compound, they tried the WD-40 on things at home and later began to put the compound in aerosol cans and marketed it.
