safe way to get rid of a squeak from a cot?
 

Our sons cot squeaks when you let the side rail down or up.
There's 2 metal bars which the wooden side slides up and down on.
I don't really want to use wd40 as I'm not sure it's safe.
Any suggestions?

Try candle wax.

Surely candle wax is'nt a lubricant when it sets?

Baby Oil?

I tried oiling my baby once, couldn't pick him up afterwards.
His cot still sqeaked but we worked on the basis that he'd outgrow it
before it wore out and left it alone. We were right, the next owners
took the squeak away with the cot.

Pledge furniture polish or any wax or silicone polish. Spray on,
slide side up and down once or twice and polish off.

You don't melt it, just rub the runners / wood with the blunt end of a
white candle. It works fine on drawers etc so ought to be ok here.

Works a treat. Fixes sticking wooden drawers, extendable tables etc.
Taught about it by my granddad, along with hundreds of other useful
little bits n bobs...

Slap a good dollop of axle grease on it. Make a man of him rather than a
namby pamby mother's boy. If he's made of the right stuff he'll come to no
harm and if not then you might as well have had a girlie.
