When I was first contacted about doing a product review and giveaway of something called Jig-A-Loo, my first thought was, “what the heck kind of name is that for a product?” So I went to the U.S. website for the international company, and learned the origins of the name:

The name “Jig-A-Loo” can be traced all the way back to 1958, when the product inventor finally came up with the right formula and exclaimed “ti-gi-dou!” This friendly French-Canadian expression is used when someone finds a solution to a problem. “Ti-gi-dou” loosely translates as “I’ve got it!” It’s also sometimes used as a salutation at the end of phone conversations. In the spirit of celebrating this wondrous new invention, a more phonetic version of the inventor’s words was coined, one which included the idea of lubricant (“loo”).

So, what is Jig-A-Loo? It’s an invisible silicon-based household lubricant that unsticks, unsqueaks, doesn’t smell, doesn’t drip, and doesn’t stain. You can spray it on the zipper of a pair of WHITE PANTS and won’t see any drops at all. It unsticks window frames, keeps rust off of tools, takes the squeak out of door hinges, makes shoes waterproof, you can even spray it on the leaves of artificial plants to keep dust off. Spray Jig-A-Loo into the bottom of a candle holder, and the melted candle comes right out. Jig-A-Loo is a safe product for wood, glass, rubber, metal, leather, fabric, and most plastics (spray a small area of a plastic item first to test). What else can you use it on?

Jig-A-Loo lubricates doors, windows, patio doors, shower doors, washer and dryer doors, drawers, locks, curtain rods, ventilation fans, window shutters, rocking chairs, zippers, hide-a-bed mechanisms, clotheslines, and more.

Jig-A-Loo is also an excellent water-repellent for your shoes, boots, suede and leather jackets, windbreakers, snowsuits, and other garments.

Spray Jig-A-Loo on door seals, door locks, washer nozzles, and windshields to prevent them from freezing, or spray on hubcaps to prevent brake-dust residue buildup.
