If your bed frame is squeaking every chance it gets when you roll around or sit down, this guide is for you. This guide is quick and easy, with tools that you most likely have in your house!

Before this guide, please make sure there isn’t any missing screws or broken parts of the frame because this guide does not show how to fix what is broken or missing. If that is the case, you must find the screws or buy to replace them.

Olive oil and Q-tips are a supplement tool to WD-40, if you do not have access to any.
