Annoying Squeal
If you have a problem with a hinge in your house that makes a squeaky noise, you can easily solve the issue by spraying a chemical lubricant onto the joint that is causing the problem. However, those lubricants also contain a number of harmful components that aren’t necessarily safe for human beings to breathe in on a regular basis.
Instead of reaching for a can of chemicals, you should reach for the dish soap in your sink. Applying a small amount of soap to the creaking hinge and waiting to hear the sound go away is an exercise in frustration. Dish soap can be used to clean the hinge, which will eliminate the squeak, and this can be done without resorting to harsh chemicals. You can apply it to doorknobs, door hinges, glass doors, window hinges, or any other surface that could use a little bit of assistance.
