| Any suggestions for a good lubricant for squeaky interior door hinges?
There's the trusty WD-40, but it doesn't smell so good and it also is
difficult to keep from running/dripping.
Any other suggestions? Something long-lasting.
TIA

| 1st thing is don't use wd40. It's more of a solvent than a real lubricant.
Get some real oil like 3-in-1 or gun oil and it will do fine. (use very
sparingly)

| Silicone spray lubricant or even the Avon product "skin so soft" works well
and smells good. 101 uses they say. Perhaps applying this won't be so easy
but your wife might have some in her vanity and you can avoid a trip to the
store.

| That brought a big grin. A neighbor sells Avon and is always giving my wife
some. She always accepts it graciously just because she doesn't want to
hurt the neighbor's feelings. Then I put it into the trash unopened because
I can't stand the stink. There are many perfumes I don't care for but Avon
is the worst.

| Had the same problem. Bought a can of Dupont Teflon Multi-Use dry wax
lubricant at Lowe's, and it did the trick. Its handy because it dries to a
waxy consistency and won't attract dirt the way an oil or grease will. They
call it the "clean lube" on the can for that reason.
tip: when you're done, make sure to get all the residual product out of the
spray tube else it will wax and clog.

I Have to buy me a gallon of WD-40!!
WD-40 - Water Displacement #40.
The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and
degreaser to protect missile parts.
WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket
Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a
"water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth
formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to
protect their atlas missile parts.
The workers were so pleased with the product, they began smuggling
(also known as "shrinkage" or "stealing") it out to use at home. The
executives decided there might be a consumer market for it and put it
in aerosol cans. The rest, as they say, is history.
It is a carefully guarded recipe known only to four people. Only one
of them is the "brew master." There are about 2.5 million gallons of
the stuff manufactured each year. It gets its distinctive smell from a
fragrance that is added to the brew.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40
that would hurt you. When you read the "shower door" part, try it.
It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If
yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle!
Then try it on your stovetop...Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever
been. You'll be amazed.
Here are some of the uses:
<>
Protects silver from tarnishing.
<>
Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
<>
Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery.
<>
Keeps flies off cows.
<>
Restores and cleans chalkboards.
<>
Removes lipstick stains.
<>
Loosens stubborn zippers.
(even if he is still wearing the pants?)
<>
Untangles jewelry chains.
<>
Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
<>
Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
<>
Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.
<>
Removes tomato stains from clothing.
<>
Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.
(for the guy that refuses to use the squeegee)
<>
Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.
<>
Keeps scissors working smoothly.
<>
Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes.
<>
Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.
<>
Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on
riding mowers.
<>
Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.
<>
Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to
open.
(ok i am going to try it on the squeaky kitchen drawers)
<>
Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.
<>
Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as
vinyl bumpers.
<>
Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.
<>
Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.
<>
Lubricates whe el sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for
easy handling.
<>
Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running
smoothly.
<>
Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
(ok, this works for .....someone that never puts stuff back where it
came from.....)
<>
Removes splattered grease on stove.
<>
Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
<>
Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
<>
Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
<>
Removes all traces of duct tape.
(even off of wrists and mouths?)
( i bet it gets those labels off of the big jars you want to save too)
<>
Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve
arthritis pain.
(hmmmmmmmm now that is interesting!)
<>
Florida's favorite use is: "cleans and removes love bugs from grills
and bumpers."
<>
The favorite use in the state of New York--WD-40 protects the Statue
of Liberty from the elements.
<>
WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you
will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than
the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in
mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are
not allowed in some states
( this one is for SoBe!. did you know this?)
<>
Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and
stops the itch.
(uh oh, SoBe again for his fire ants, and James for his scorpions)
<>
WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and
wipe with a clean rag.
<>
Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and
dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick
spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
(damn i wish i knew this.....well i know it now)
<>
If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the
moisture and allow the car to start.
<>
It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor!
<>
Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't
seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard
to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a l ot
of marks.
<>
Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly!
Use WD-40!
<>
P.S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL
(here fishy fishy fishy! myraide)

Lubricant WD-40 Really Help Arthritis?
FAQ
Believe it or not, using the lubricant WD-40 for arthritis has become both
an unproven and potentially harmful folk remedy for pain relief. Some people
swear that the lubricant WD-40 can ease painful joints. But, can the
lubricant WD-40 really help arthritis?
A.
WD-40 For Arthritis: Just Another Folk Remedy
Arthritis does seem to have its fair share of unproven folk remedies such
as:
a.. gin-soaked raisins
a.. copper bracelets
a.. bee stings
a.. certo fruit pectin
a.. magnets
