Fix a Sticking Door with Soap
The Problem
Door sticks every time, especially in humid summer months.
The Hack
Find shiny rub marks on door edge. Rub dry bar of soap on those spots. Open and close a few times.
Why It Works
Soap contains fats and waxes that lubricate wood surfaces and add a slight moisture barrier.
Pro Tips
- Works best for seasonal humidity sticking
- Year-round sticking = sand or plane the edge
- Candle wax lasts even longer
- Also works on sliding door tracks
