Never Have Stuck Garden Hose Attachments Again!
Sometimes, for various reasons, you can leave a garden hose attachment, like a watering wand, a spray gun, sprinkler, or spray nozzle, on too long and then it is a bear to remove. They can get stuck on from calcification from the water, or sometimes they can rust on. Many people may end up cutting them off. The problem can be avoided all together by simply doing this:
Before you ever attach anything to your garden hose, first wipe the threads with petroleum jelly, so that the attachment's threads don't get stuck to the hose threads. Pretty simple - huh?

I have this problem so much. I don't how many times I have had sore hands trying to get the hose off of the tape outside. Thanks for the tips :)
I'm so glad you found it helpful.
That's great, and thank you for letting me know!
Have a great day.
That's great, but how do you get them off without cutting them off??
Hi Thomas,
Try soaking the attachment overnight in white vinegar. It will eat away the calcification from the built up water.
If it is rusted on, you can try something like Evapo-Rust that you can soak the metal in and in an hour or so it should solve the problem.
Hope this helps.
Hilary
