Squeaky Vicks

Door hinges tend to get rusty and squeaky over time, and the solution is usually to add some oil or grease to the noisy joints. It sounds pretty straightforward until the necessary lubricants run out and someone is left contemplating whether the long trip to the store is worth it.

Luckily, ‘Vicks’ is as versatile as they come, and this handy ointment can double up as the perfect lubricant. Apply a healthy amount to the creaking parts, and the annoying noises will be gone for a while. The even better thing about this hack is that the hands and joints won’t have a funky odor either.
