Vaseline to Fix Hinges
Why not try petroleum jelly if you have a particularly squeaky door that has resisted all other types of lubricant? Applying a small dollop of petroleum jelly to the hinge will eliminate the creak that makes your house sound haunted.
Petroleum jelly, unlike other oils or lubricants, penetrates the hinges directly and does not runoff. As a result of its texture and viscosity, it will adhere to the door hinge better.
