How can you fix squeaky office chairs?

If you know where the squeak is try silicone spray. You can get it at the auto parts store pretty cheap. Or you can try powdered graphite from a hardware store. I suppose you could sit forever with a number 2 pencil and go over the area where the squeak is, but the powdered graphite is much quicker.
Good Luck. (04/25/2007)
As crazy as it sounds try Vaseline. Not sure if it'll work for ya, but it worked for the one we have here at home. I put some in a sandwich bag, snipped off the corner of the bag and "Piped" it onto the problem area, then smoothed with a Q-Tip. I've used cooking spray too. Both of them have worked. Good luck.

WD40 seems to dry up after a week or so. We have found the silicone spray lasts longer. I also think that the Vasoline trick may be even better since that won't dry up at all. (04/26/2007)
