I recently had a squeaking bedroom door and had used 3-in-1 oil, wd-40, silicone spray, and graphite on the hinges to eliminate the squeaking. Each of the products that I used last for about 3 days and then the squeak would return. One day my wife said to clean the hinges and put Dawn Dish soap on the hinges, it has been about two weeks now since I did that and the squeak has not returned.
I also use Dawn in the toilet for clog prevention. This also last awhile
I cheated.
I got a large "favor injector" and filled it with "Red and Tacky" grease.
PC fans- work.
Vacuum cleaner bearings? Better than new.
Hinges suddenly easy and quiet. Too.
Those noisy house fans- bathroom, kitchen, freestanding? Work faster, and quietly.
a weekend- all done.
You can pull back the seal of a "sealed" bearing, grease it, and push the seal back.
