will this soap remove WD 40 after it's been dried?

It's worth a try! I've use it on all kinds of stains but WD 40 and it has worked for me! The heavier stains I have let it sit a bit longer before washing and used like a little tooth brush to work the soap into the stain...check it again before drying! Might have to give it a second treatment but I was able to get dried ink to just about be non visible and it had been washed and dried! Good luck!

I'm sure you could, but to be safe, read the ingredients on the WD40 bottle and see if it has just about the same ingredients

Olive oil 1st. Then wd 40 if its really bad and still does not work. Make sure to get all the excess wd off.

You certainly can. If it spends time in your pocket, you should occasionally clean it thoroughly with a dish brush and soap and hot water. Dry and douse with WD40. Wipe with a soft cloth and return it to duty.

We recommend the use of a small amount of high quality wet lubricant, like the Master Lock 2300D. WD40 can be used for cleaning or washing the moisture out of a padlock but a good lubricant needs to be applied afterwards.

Actually yes I've been experimenting with that of late. Helps to remove all the old soap first. So far it's working. I've been doing it for a couple of months now. It appears it's like enough to work. And I'm happy that. Let me know otherwise if you have a different experience.

No, not at all. It cleans right up with windex. The solution for lack of a better word is evaporative lubricant. So you shouldn't have a problem.

A minimal amount of soap with water works fine after each use, followed by rinses with hot water. If you go a couple of fills without cleaning it, then I would suggest using straight vinegar. The follow with a few rinses of hot water.

Not at all. it hardly has any smell to it at all and what little there is does not cling. If you are concerned, use another soap or body wash after using this. It will get rid of anything that may have been left behind.

Make sure you mix a bit of water in with the raw soap. If you don't you could clog the pump.

Darcy, Yes, it is ok to clean as normal after the product has dried. Although I use the product after I have moped and vacuumed.

I'm surprised others say "yes". It's definitely NOT water soluble - it's oil. I'd have to use soap multiple times in order to wash it off.

I'd avoid WD40. It's purpose in life is as a [W]ater [D]isplacer to flush water out of places that is harmful to metal parts. But I also use it to strip grease off bike chains. Whatever lubricant the knife had might have just been flushed out of it. I would use the penetrating oil for frozen bolts as recommended then try to get as much of that off as possible since you probably need to re-grease it which won't be easy. Try to work grease or a dry lube back into the sliding surfaces. The penetrating oil residue will probably thin the first applications of grease or lube, you may need to repeat. I'd avoid WD40.

wd40 is a penetrating oil not a all the time lube so use a drop of gun oil or multi purpose oil, wd will work for a bit but will eventual gum up with debris

What Thomas said. Just make certain you rinse it really, really well so no soap remains.

I pulled the spout off mine and looked down inside. Soap scum builds up inside the pump mechanism and prevents the pump from resetting itself. I dripped a few drops of mineral oil inside the plunger mechanism, and now mine works as good as new. Another user in a review had good results using Dezcal, a descaler, in his, and apparently it also broke down the scum or deposits and helped his pump work, too. Dezcal is quite useful for descaling all sorts of things. (Amazon sells it in several different packages.)
