Instructions

    • 1

      Lay down a drop cloth to protect your floor while working on your recliner.

    • 2

      Turn your recliner upside down so that it lies directly on top of the drop cloth.

    • 3

      Tighten any loose nuts and bolts, which may be adding to the squeaking noise, with a wrench.

    • 4

      Spray springs and other moving parts underneath your recliner with WD-40 or a cooking oil spray. Both items will lubricate the parts and prevent squeaking, but the cooking spray will not leave a strong odor like WD-40.

    • 5

      Allow the recliner to sit for two hours, and then reapply the WD-40 or cooking spray.

    • 6

      Use a dry cotton cloth to wipe away any excess oil.

    • 7

      Turn the recliner rightside up and remove the drop cloth, being careful not to let any oil drip onto the floor.

Tips & Warnings

  • Follow warning

  • Follow warnings on the manufacturer's labels for both WD-40 and the cooking oil spray.
