Jig-a-loo & Keeps Travelers Rolling Along

Squeaky luggage wheels beginning to annoy you?  Do you find that your bags just don’t roll as easily as they should?

A relatively new product here in the U.S. (it was originally developed in 1958 in Canada), Jig-a-loo is a lubripellent – meaning that it both lubricates and repels water.  The company claims to be the only product of this type that is water repellent.  Now you can get your roll aboard wheeling smoothly, without worrying about the weather setting back your efforts.

I had a chance to give Jig-a-loo a try, and as much as I use my luggage, I can say that I really put it through its paces.  In the course of a month I roll my bag over many, many miles through airports, up and down curbs, across carpet hallways, gravely driveways, and bumpy sidewalks.  My wheels take a beating.  And every once in awhile I pick up a rocky or get a little moisture into the system, and it makes a really annoying sound.  A little squirt of Jig-a-loo, annoying sound gone.

There are lots of additional uses for Jig-a-loo, both for travelers and at home, and the website has a long list of suggestions.  This would also be handy for the cabin in the woods or kept in the car.  The company has a long list of suggested uses as well.

In other words, it’s one of those simple and handy little products that is easy to take for granted.  Until you have annoying sounding luggage wheel!

Jig-a-loo is priced around $4.99 per can, and is available nationwide at hardware and discount stores.
