Please consider using Ballistol instead. It’s much more environmentally friendly, you can even use it for pet grooming.

  What are Ballistol's properties? I've not heard of it before.

    Ballistol is an oil of pharmaceutical quality, cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistol

      Only one ingredient is of pharmaceutical quality.

  Why is it more environmentally friendly? Both are mostly long-chain hydrocarbons, WD40 uses CO2 as a propellant and Ballistol uses propane/butane.

  Alas, I was unable to find an aerosol can of Ballistol with the straw for focused spraying.

  Interestingly, Ballistol was originally also used as a disinfectant in the Germany army.

    I am pretty sure that it once was advertised as being usable as salad seasoning, but apparently that use case has dropped of the list at some point?

      That was an April fools' day joke by the company that manufactures it [0] https://www.facebook.com/ballistol/photos/ballistol-hat-f%C3%BCr-jede-anwendung/1467588916646774/ https://www.facebook.com/ballistol/photos/ballistol-hat-f%C3...
