How to Fix Sticky Drawers
How to Fix Sticky Drawers
Wooden drawers are quickly starting to fall to metal and plastic drawers in homes all across the world. The main reason for this is that wooden drawers have an awful tendency to stick when the humidity changes inside. There are a few simple ways to fix this, though, and the good thing about these tips is that they also apply for other things around the house - wooden doors and windows also stick from time to time, and can be helped the same way that drawers can.
Steps

Clean the drawers first. Wipe them down with a damp cloth, and try to remove all dust. (If you've been using the soap method, use a putty knife to remove the built-up soap).

Spray the drawers with a silicone-based lubricant. Like the soap, this is not permanent. The lubricant will, however, last longer, and it won't build up as much as the soap will.

Clean up! This is extremely important if you use the silicone-based lubricant. If you accidentally sprayed anything other than the drawers with the lubricant, clean it up as soon as possible! It will make the floors very slippery, and if you do not clean it up quickly, it will be nearly impossible to get out. (If you don't trust yourself with the spray, put newspaper down before you spray anything at all).

What's your reaction?
