A little while ago I posted about a broken curtain track cording thing.
Got that sorted after thinking about the possibilities properly. Not
wanting the same failure to occur on the other three curtains in the
room, I did what I should have done ages ago. I sprayed the track,
gliders, rollers, and all with a modest dose of silicone spray.

Immediate improvement in all of them - much easier to draw. And, I
think,continuing improvement for a few days after. Quite possibly as it
spread further and wider.

Wish I had done it ages ago (and I mean several years) - might have
saved the broken roller.

A dab of Vaseline also works.

Vaseline attracts more dust than a waft of silicone spray,

That's what I thought but it seemed not to be the case here.

Spray furniture polish is very effective also

One problem though is the build up of dust. It could in the future glue
itself to the track, but then if you do not do this, if its plastic track
the static generated tends to attract muck in any case.
