I found a squeaky door so I got the oil and fixed it… Then did every door I could before my wife caught me.
Am I alone here? It’s so satisfying to just glide open!
Edit: She followed up with: “you’re enjoying yourself too much”
Damn straight I am. It’s the little things you have to enjoy!
I’ve always just wiped the squeaky hinges down with petroleum jelly because it’s what was immediately on hand. I don’t bother wiping away too much of the extra closest to the moving bits. It works its way into the hinges well enough. It doesn’t smell. I’ve yet to have to re-apply to any hinge, even years later.
