Fixing a Creaking Bed Frame

RE: Fixing a Creaking Bed Frame Post By Been There (Guest Post) (09/21/2007) WD40 is a good quick fix but it eventually swells the wood and makes everything worse. Baby powder also is a good temporary fix, but beeswax works best; however, you have to take it all apart, apply good quality beeswax, and put it back together. Adding additional washers can help as well. Good luck. RE: Fixing a Creaking Bed Frame Post By wendee (Guest Post) (05/16/2006) I thought of WD-40 too, or even baby powder. Sometimes powder will work on creaking floorboard, so it might on a bed frame.

Then you may want to take the bed apart and make sure there are washers on the bolts holding the bed together. I think I would add an extra washer just to be sure. Good luck with this.

WD40 seems to help everything else around the house. Good Luck!
