How to Keep Your Windows and Sliding Doors Gliding Smoothly with Gear Hugger

Sticky windows and sliding doors can be frustrating, but maintaining them is easier than you think. Over time, dirt and wear can cause these mechanisms to jam or squeak. Gear Hugger’s Multipurpose Lubricant provides an eco-friendly, non-toxic solution to restore smooth, quiet operation—perfect for keeping your home functional and safe. Here's how you can do it in just a few steps:

What You’ll Need:

  • Gear Hugger Multipurpose Lubricant
  • A microfiber cloth

Steps to Lubricate Your Windows and Doors

  1. Clean the Tracks
    Start by wiping the tracks of your window or sliding door with a damp cloth. For heavy buildup, use Gear Hugger Degreaser to remove grime. Allow the area to dry completely before proceeding.

  2. Apply Gear Hugger Lubricant
    Shake the can well, then spray a light, even coat of Gear Hugger Multipurpose Lubricant along the tracks, rollers, and hinges. Its natural formula ensures effective lubrication without harmful residues.

  3. Move to Spread Product
    Open and close the window or door a few times to distribute the lubricant evenly. This ensures every part of the mechanism benefits from the application.

  4. Remove Excess
    Gently wipe away any excess lubricant with a microfiber cloth.

  5. Repeat When Necessary
    We recommend to reapply every 3–6 months or whenever you notice sticking or squeaking.
