Examine the area with the WD-40 sprayed on it. Note the location of the substance and grab a soft cloth or towel.

Wipe the affected area well with the cloth or towel. Turn it over to use the other side if the area is heavily sprayed with WD-40.

Continue wiping until the WD-40 is completely removed. The area should be dry to the touch. You shouldn't be able to see the WD-40's residue. If you can, grab another clean towel and begin wiping again.
