Stain Remover
I had a lease car with light colored upholstery. My son sat in a black greasy spot, then transferred it to the car seat. Before turning the car in, I soaked the spot with WD40, then wiped if up with a wet rag. It easily took the stain out without harming the fabric.

I've been using mineral oil on kitchen tools. It will work on other tools. Renews butcher block too. Big bottle at target or Walmarts is very cheap.

I'll bet Robbie uses olive oil.

Organic oils will turn rancid.

Yes, that's how I learned about it.
My wife had an old half-full large bottle of olive oil that had gone bad, and she found a how-to page with a dozen uses for it. I took it in the shop and tried it on the mower and garden tools, worked great. Who cares about smell on those? It wouldn't be good for kitchen stuff, though, I agree.

Telling you - old oil from the drain pan. Use it in the car, then use the nasty stuff to prevent rust on digging tools. Two successive uses = recycling, right?

I use an Australian WD40 alternative that was recommended as a cleaner/lubricant by my local gun dealer called Inox. It is fantastic!
It works great to remove stubborn residue and protect from rust. I like that it feels less oily, and it is safe for all finishes. It also dries extremely clean and residue-free. There's even a food-grade version.
