how long should I wait to go back in my room after spraying wd 40 on my closet?

Question

I had a squeaky closet door so I spritz the hinges with wd40 and opened a window and turned on my ceiling. How long before it's safe to go back in my room? I also don't want to die in my sleep as a result of sleeping in here too soon. Help???

Answer 1

No worries sweetie, if it is not bothering you by it's smell you are fine. It is safe. Believe me, I am a girl who uses all kinds of things that are considered a "mans" application. I am still alive and breathing! :-) You go girl, take care of what you need to and don't have fear, just be armed with willpower and knowledge! :-)

Answer 2

The WD-40 overspray is not going to harm you if all you did was do the hinges. BTW WD-40 is not the greatest for lubing hinges. It is a water dispersant that has some temporary lubricating effect. Hardware stores and Home Depots have another spray on lube that is really an oil like stuff that works better longer.

Answer 3

About 5 mins - Unless you are allergic to the spray - It contains nothing that can harm you if you only used it on the hinges -

Answer 4

It's harmless if you just used enough for a hinge.

Answer 5

You don't need to leave the room , unless the smell bothers you.

Answer 6

It's just made of fish oil so it's perfectly safe.

Answer 7

It won't hurt you. You can go back in now, unless the smell of it actually irritates you, but it won't actually hurt you.

Answer 8

next time use lithium grease it works allot better and there's no smell and you didn't have to leave the room.

Answer 9
