Got an annoying creak in one of your doors? Here’s a neat trick: Just spray it with non-stick cooking spray, it’ll be as good as new! I’m not sure where I heard this, but I just tried it on my daughter’s squeaky bedroom door and it worked like a charm! Now I can sneak in on her at naptime and see if she’s really sleeping or not! Tee-hee…

Unfortunately, this is a food product made from vegetable oils and will attract insects, including fire ants if you live in fire ant country as I do. Other things you can use for a quick fix that will not attract insects include a bar of soap or baby oil (mineral oil). Try and keep a can of WD-40 in the house. One can will last you for years and is good for much more than a squeaky door. By the way, I found out the hard way with the cooking spray when I sprayed it on a squeeky kitchen base cabinet door hinge and ended up the next day with the hinges covered in fire ants!!!! Live and learn!
