- MinWax Elbow Grease
- Brand: MinWax | Category: Other

I have used a lot of this stuff so I thought I would write a review.
Its good for just about everything. I have used it at work, at home, and even in my shop. I try to keep it with me at all times in case I need it.
It is especially useful for big jobs like waxing your car, installing a new roof, or chopping firewood. Its great for cleaning the entire home, and I even used it when I hung my Christmas lights last weekend. In fact there is no job, big or small, that Elbow Grease can’t handle. It is even delicate enough to handle small detailed jobs like removing grout from between your tile.
The only reason I had to give it 4 out of 5 stars is that it aways takes a LOT of work to use this stuff, but it gets the job done every time.

I have used to grease the Mental Floss I use on my children. Works Great. From ear to ear.

Is this the light or heavy duty stuff.

I have the same brand in my tool box and you’re right this is great stuff. I would have given it a 5 star rating. I have been teaching my son how to use it. He’s a IT guy and does not use much of this at work but when he get home he has to use it….like it or not. I should have given my own review but sometime you take things for granted.
thanks for taking the time to open my eyes.

I often find that when I run out of my own, it’s a good idea to buy some from a reliable source. However, invariably, I always have to buy two to match the strength of my own stuff. I don’t know why…

I too use this frequently… just wish I could find a “left handed” formula.

I had an old can from my Granddad. Now that guy could spread some grease. Kinda puts me to shame. This modern formula just isn’t the same after the EPA got done with it.

I stopped using that stuff years ago, where can I buy some more – is it FDA approved?

I do try to avoid that stuff. I think it would be a good Christmas gift for my husband though. When I don’t want to use it, I ‘ask’ him to.

I found an old tin of this at a garage sale. It was about 1/2 full. The old lady said that her husband swore by it, but I found it to take a lot of energy.
It works on just about anything though – just like you said.
